The initiative will see 180 officers patrolling key areas to prevent crime and ensure public safety.

This year's operation seeks to build on that success by reinforcing vigilance in strategic neighborhoods and tourist zones.

The 'Verano Seguro' operation underscores the local government's commitment to maintaining security and order during times when many residents travel and public spaces see increased activity. The deployment of additional personnel is intended to deter potential criminal activity and provide a sense of security for the community throughout the summer holidays.

The operation seeks to prevent crimes in neighborhoods and strategic areas, after noting that last year criminal incidence was reduced by 50% during the holiday period.
