Last month, Jose Antonio Monfort,
head of the local police and the
Councillor for Citizen Security, Pepa
Gisbert, held a meeting with the
residents of Cansalades Park where
various security issues were discussed.
He stressed the idea of ​​the neighborhood as the key to mutual protection.
Thus, he explained, that all residents
in the same area can provide a
very simple monitoring service and
assistance that can be very useful,
especially for older people who may
live alone.
Awareness of simple daily activities
like walking the dog in a neighbourhood may be the key to a neighbour
alerting the security forces when a
neighbour suddenly doesn’t appear.
Intervening in time to avoid a personal misfortune.
In addition, a co-operative, supportive community is alert against possible strangers which in turn offers less
chances of crimes occurring.
