The subdelegate of the Government of Spain in A Coruña, María Rivas, presided this morning the Local Security Board in the City of Vimianzo, together with the mayor Mónica Rodríguez, to analyze the latest data and the actions carried out between the Civil Guard and the Local Police of the City Council to guarantee the safety of the neighborhood. Rivas highlighted “the joint work of the Civil Guard and the Local Police that translates into good data and the perception of security that the neighborhood has.”
This is corroborated by the crime rate that places this town hall as one of the safest. Vimianzo has an index of 25 crimes per thousand inhabitants, well below the national, Galician and provincial average.
Master Plan for School Coexistence
In the field of prevention, the subdelegate highlighted the relevance of the Master Plan for Coexistence and Improvement of Security in Educational Centers and their Environments, promoted by the Ministry of the Interior. Through this program, the Civil Guard carried out 25 activities in two educational centers in Vimianzo, with 92 participants from the educational community. The activities focused on issues of conflict mediation in the school environment, cybersecurity and ICT, bullying and cyberbullying and other addictions in gambling or video games. “The Master Plan addresses the current concerns of families and teachers, incorporating relevant topics and connected with the reality of students,” said Rivas.
The Master Plan for Coexistence and Improvement of Security in Educational Centers and their Environments is a program of the Ministry of Interior of the Government of Spain that aims to coordinate between the educational community and the Security Forces and Bodies to prevent and detect situations of risk among new people, as well as sensitize students and contribute to their training in respect for fundamental rights and the values of equality and human dignity.
The data of participation and the activities carried out in the educational centers of the province of A Coruña in the last year corroborate the good acceptance of this Plan in the educational centers of the province of A Coruña in which 40% of the activities carried out throughout Galicia in the year 2024 were carried out, with 2,016 of a total of 5,027. These proposals were attended by 35,744 people from the educational community (students, teachers and families) of a total of 144,761 participants in Galicia. The participating centers in the province of A Coruña were 331, of the 953 that did so at the autonomous level.
Local parties, coordination and security
In addition, in this meeting progress was made in the coordination of the protocol of actions before the festivities and celebrations in the open air, especially the festivities “Asalto al Castelo”, “Faguía de Carnés”, festivities of Carantoña and summer festivities of Vimianzo.
“The operation designed is designed to ensure the correct development of all celebrations, with special attention to the moments and spaces with the greatest influx of people,” said the subdelegate.
The device will be coordinated between the City Council, the security forces and bodies, the Local Police, the emergency services and civil protection.
VioGen system
The Local Security Board also analyzed the data of the Integral System in cases of gender violence, VioGén. María Rivas stressed the importance of institutional collaboration to ensure the safety of victims and their families. The City of Vimianzo has two instruments that promote the Subdelegation of the Government; first, it is attached to the VioGén protection system and, on the other hand, it is also integrated into the Interinstitutional Coordination Table against gender violence.
The VioGén System, under the Ministry of the Interior, is a system of protection for victims of gender-based violence in which the State security forces and bodies collaborate with the local police of municipalities. Of the 60 municipalities in the province that have local police, 29 of them are members of the VioGén System, which demonstrates the commitment to the fight against male violence.
