Madrid, December 17, 2024.- The delegate of the Government of Spain in the Community of Madrid, Francisco Martín, announced today the updating of the catalogue in the locality with the reinforcement of the staff of the National Police Station of Parla with 40 new seconded agents and the new document processing office in Parla Este as measures included within the second phase of the ‘Plan Parla’, a specific police plan launched in the municipality.
This means, on the one hand, an increase of almost 20% in the workforce “with which it will be possible to increase the police presence in the streets, intensify investigations and, ultimately, give a better service to all the neighbors and neighbors of Parla”; and, on the other, thanks to the agreement reached with the City of Parla, it will be possible to have an additional installation “that will relieve the burden on the current one and involve the presence of the National Police in the same Avenue of the Planets”, explained the delegate of the Government.
In addition, in 2025, the new National Police Local Police Station is also scheduled to be put into operation “equal to what the Parleños and Parleñas, and all the professionals of the National Police, undoubtedly deserve”.
With these measures, the strengthening of the city’s security services will be achieved, objective of the ‘Plan Parla’ that was launched in October, after an extraordinary Local Security Board convened in light of the crime data recorded in the first half of 2024 in the locality, which reflected an increase in conventional crime of more than 21 percent.
This specific police plan for the municipality and its environment, whose objective is to improve the security situation in the municipality and its environment, contemplates both organizational and operational actions in the short and medium term, to reverse the security situation in Parla.
In recent months, there has been a significant reinforcement of police forces deployed in the city, and the procedures for more effective coordination between the Local Police and the National Police have also been reviewed.
Now, with the new initiatives, it is intended to go “one step further” and not only strengthen the police presence in the municipality, but also consolidate the role of the National Police as a “close, professional and willing to work body” and continue improving the crime data that continue to be reduced at the regional level, as the government delegate has said.
“While waiting for the official data for the last quarter, and with all the prudence that corresponds, I can say that crime continues to decrease in our region and that, therefore, we must maintain the course to continue improving,” he said, at the same time as affirming that “that is the objective of the Government of Spain.”
A commitment that materializes in the fact that this year will culminate “with the maximum historical force of the Security Forces and Corps” in the Community of Madrid, more than 21,000 men and women who, from their professionalism, continuously increase police effectiveness and provide citizens with increasing security, always at the service of freedom and coexistence”
Inauguration of the new commissioner
In the “determined commitment” of the Government of Spain ·”for security, justice and coexistence”, Francisco Martín has assured that the figure of the new commissioner of the National Police of Parla, who has taken office in the course of the act, “is key”.

Much of his professional career has been spent in Catalonia and in district police stations in the city of Madrid, although his last destination before his appointment was in Vitoria as head of the Brigade of Foreigners and Borders.
