Local Police and Mossos campaign for a safer Christmas
Mossos d'Esquadra and Local Police of Salou are reinforcing the prevention and security of the city's shops these days in the run-up to the Christmas campaign. One of the main actions is based on carrying out police rounds of informative visits to establishments to raise awareness of crime prevention measures. The action is carried out in a personalized way and adapted to each establishment.
The City Council of Salou, through the areas of Citizen Security and Economic Dynamization, have launched the reinforcement campaign in the framework of the Christmas holidays, an action that is carried out every year and that has been presented by councilors David González and Héctor Maiquez, respectively, together with the top officials of the Urban Guard and the Mossos d'Esquadra.
Two patrols - each made up of two police officers -, divided into morning and afternoon shifts, carry out the first round of visits to give merchants a series of tips to avoid crimes and thefts; as well as a sticker and a calendar for the year 2023, edited by the Local Police, both with the contact telephone numbers and emails of the police station and emergency services. Once the first round of visits has been completed, personalized meetings will be arranged with the managers of the shops to resolve doubts and provide more personalized attention.
Some of the recommendations aimed especially at commerce are the following:
- Never put physical integrity at risk, in case of being a victim of robbery.
- Avoid having large amounts of money in the establishment.
- Do not lose sight of the people who are inside the establishment, with a suspicious attitude.
- Pay special attention and be wary of people who enter the establishment wearing a helmet or any other element that makes it difficult to visually identify them.
- Install video surveillance systems, alerting, by means of visible signs, both inside and outside the establishment.
- Be aware of the entry and presence of groups of people who, taking advantage of your number, can steal or carry out any other illegal activity.
- Do not inform unknown persons about the security systems installed in the establishment.
