The government delegate in Galicia, Pedro Blanco, presided today the presentation of the seven new commissioners who have just joined the different brigades of the National Police in Galicia and who encouraged them to continue making Galicia one of the safest communities in Spain.
No act, in which also participated the Superior Chief of Police of Galicia, Ramón Gómez Nieto, and to which attended the subdelegate of the Government in A Coruña, María Rivas, and the subdelegates in Pontevedra, Abel Losada, and in Ourense, Emilio González, the delegate of the Government stressed that Galicia today has the highest number of agents of the last decade, with about 3,400 men and women dedicated to security in the cities and main Galician villas.
In this regard, he indicated that, after years of decrease in the number of troops, the Government was the one to reverse this trend and add 575 new agents since 2017 to the State security forces and bodies in the community.
The new commissioners are: Francisco Javier Balas, who joins as head of the Judicial Police Brigade of the A Coruña Police Station; Ana Belén Gómez, head of the Citizen Security Brigade of the A Coruña Police Station; Cristina Ochoa, head of the Aliens and Borders Brigade of the A Coruña Police Station; Nuria Palacios, head of Operations of the Provincial Commissioner of Ourense; José Antonio Tendero, head of Operations of the Vigo-Díazay Local Police Brigade
To all of them, Pedro Blanco asked to continue maintaining the good crime data, with three years in a row of decreases in criminal acts, and of clarification, with the highest rate of the last nine years, a responsibility that, he said, is shared with the Government.
He also urged them to preserve values such as equality, ethics, honesty, sensitivity, justice, and, above all, the unwavering vocation of public service that have marked the daily life of the people who make up this body in the 200 years that it has just completed on January 13.
