The subdelegate of the Government in Lugo, Isabel Rodríguez, co-chaired this morning with the mayor of A Fonsagrada, Carlos López, the meeting of the Local Security Board of the municipality. It made an evaluation of the security data reached last year and addressed the security device of the Feria del Butelo, which is held on the weekend of February 22 and 23.
The deputy delegate congratulated the work carried out by the Civil Guard in the municipality, which again improves the rate of police effectiveness during the past year, based on the clarification of crimes. Thus, Isabel Rodríguez indicated that in the past year the Civil Guard managed to clarify in this municipality 69.4% of the criminal offenses committed. “It increases the clarification of crimes with respect to the previous year by 21%, so we have to congratulate the Security Bodies and Forces,” he said.
In this congratulation he mentioned the operation carried out by the Lugo Command that managed to stop a band of itinerant thieves in mid-January, and that they had acted at the beginning of the year in the town of A Fonsagrada.
Regarding the evolution of crime, the data provided at this meeting point to a significant decrease of almost 20% in crimes committed in 2024 compared to the data of the previous year, so the crime rate fell to 15.72 (crimes per thousand inhabitants). Isabel Rodríguez highlighted these figures that show that crime in the Fonsagrada “is 13 points below the province average and less than half of the regional average rate”.
The subdelegate stressed that currently the catalog of jobs of the A Fonsagrada Barracks is 100% covered, which allows a more adequate service in this region.
Other actions
The subdelegate also thanked the activities carried out through the Plan to Improve School Coexistence and the Greater Security Plan. In the past year, the Civil Guard held 10 training talks in the municipality’s educational centers, six of which dealt with different types of addictions. This course is scheduled for the moment 5 more on topics related to harassment and cybersecurity, among other topics. In addition, 5 talks were also held at different points of the City Council aimed at older people to train on basic issues of self-protection and road safety.
