The Autonomous Police officers will cooperate with the Antigua Local Police to bolster preventive services, control, and overall safety throughout the municipality and at strategic points in Caleta de Fuste.

“Cooperation between the different administrations is always necessary, and we are grateful that they have responded to our request to reinforce our security devices by sending several Autonomous Police officers,” the mayor said. He added that the additional personnel will help increase shifts, services, and surveillance in the most critical locations, ensuring a visible and effective presence.
