This Monday, May 4, the Local Security Board of Alcobendas, co-chaired by the mayor and the government delegate, met to finalize the details of the security and emergency plan to be implemented during the patron saint festivities.

The operation will involve over 100 local police officers, who will perform 1,300 services throughout the four-day festival. They will be supported by 90 national police officers and 60 Civil Protection volunteers, ensuring comprehensive coverage.

To facilitate citizen assistance and coordination, a Mobile Citizen Service Office of the Local Police and a command center will be set up near the fairground entrance on Avenida de Valdelaparra. Vehicle checks and backpack inspections will be carried out, using three handheld metal detectors both around and inside the venue.

Surveillance will be enhanced with 16 high-resolution cameras in high-traffic areas, plus an additional camera dedicated to monitoring the municipal booths' tent. Specialized units such as the Canine Unit, with drug detection dogs, and the PUMA group, will also be present. Specially trained officers will focus on preventing harassment against women and intervening in potential cases of gender violence, supported by a Violet Point.

With families in mind, Civil Protection will distribute identification bracelets for minors to prevent them from getting lost. For healthcare, Semura will provide a doctor and two nurses daily. The meadow area will have special surveillance from the Local Police's drone unit to prevent underage alcohol consumption, altercations, and vandalism.

The security plan will be pre-activated on May 6, before the festivities begin, with preventive controls at metro and train stations, transport hubs, and main city access points, aiming to anticipate any incidents from the outset.
