In a meeting held recently between the mayor of Albox, the councillor responsible for security and the Sub inspector Chief of the Albox local police several options were studied to improve policing in the municipality.
One of the points raised was that of the possibility of more police officers. At the moment the local force consists of 14 agents, four officers and a sub inspector. The mayor said that one more agent has been budgeted for and the position should be filled before the end of the year and that there is a vacancy for a replacement for one who died recently. He added that ideally the town should have between 22 and 25 local police.
The chief of police commented that a priority was the formation of a rural patrol which would control illegal construction and tipping and would provide extra security for those living in the areas outside the urban centre.
Another measure being worked on is the installation of a free telephone service with the number 092, connected directly to the local police, to improve the response time to emergency calls.
The mayor remarked that closed circuit cameras were soon to be installed in avenues, public spaces, plazas and public gardens in the town as a deterrent to those thinking of committing crimes in those areas.
