- The main functions of the unit they form is to attend to conflicts with minors and families, and the accompaniment to the victims of gender violence
The government delegate in the Community of Madrid, Francisco Martín Aguirre, visited yesterday the town hall of Velilla de San Antonio where he held a meeting with the mayor of the town, Antonia Alcázar, and inaugurated the new Book of Honor of the Consistory. He also had the opportunity to meet with the two local police officers of the municipality that make up the Proximity Unit.
Closeness Unit of Velilla de San Antonio
This Unit was created in 2015 and has among its objectives the monitoring, accompaniment and follow-up of victims of gender violence, and intervention in conflicts between equals with minors and in family conflicts between minors and their families (substance use, physical aggression, violence, abuse or minors at risk).
These agents also give talks to students from Velilla schools about bullying and the use of social networks and also about road education.
The advantage of a unit of this type, according to their own experience, is that the accompaniment they give to families and neighbors makes them feel “very close” and makes them a reference when it comes to consulting them about any problem.
