Spanish Police Brace for Surge as Morocco-Spain Ferry Service Resumes

"The shortage of personnel suffered by the Algeciras police station is critical at the maritime border, which suggests a chaotic situation as soon as passenger traffic with Morocco resumes.

This lack of manpower leads to an overload of work for the agents, to which are added the unfulfilled promises of the government concerning the creation of a special unit to ensure security in the Campo de Gibraltar, specifies JUPOL, adding that this situation affects the work of the agents and the quality of the services they provide to citizens.

For all these reasons, the union urges the Ministry of the Interior to "urgently and exceptionally create a unit to ensure security at the maritime border of Algeciras, because the police do not have enough personnel to do so, even less in this period when thousands of passengers are expected".
