The Tres Cantos City Council has designed a special security operation for the San Juan patron saint festivals, coordinating Local Police, Civil Guard, and Civil Protection, and implementing reserved areas with bracelets for registered residents.

The upcoming San Juan Patron Saint Festivals in Tres Cantos will feature a notable security reinforcement. The City Council has organized a special operation integrating the Local Police, the Civil Guard, Civil Protection, and healthcare services, aiming to ensure both residents and visitors can enjoy the festive events without incident.
The planning for this operation was finalized at the Local Security Board meeting held on June 10th, chaired by Mayor Jesús Moreno and co-chaired by the Deputy Government Delegate in Madrid, Pilar Trinidad. The meeting also included the first deputy mayor and councilor for Presidency and Security, Javier Juárez; the head colonel of the Civil Guard Command in Madrid, Carlos de Miguel; the chief commissioner of the Local Police, Pedro Álvarez; sub-inspector Javier González; and the head of Civil Protection for the municipality, Roberto Brea.
One of the most significant novelties is the implementation of an access control system at the Fairgrounds, which will be cordoned off. This measure aims to enhance security and facilitate crowd movement during peak times. For major concerts, an exclusive zone with a capacity for 14,000 people will be set up between the Fairgrounds and the Lake, reserved solely for residents registered in Tres Cantos. Access will require presenting an identification bracelet, which can be collected free of charge at the Adolfo Suárez Cultural Center, upon presentation of a DNI (National Identity Document).
Bracelets can be collected on June 12th, 13th, 15th, and 16th, during morning hours (11:00 AM to 2:00 PM) and afternoon hours (5:00 PM to 8:00 PM). Each concert will have a different bracelet, and a single person can collect bracelets for all registered members of their family unit. Mayor Jesús Moreno explained that this initiative aims, in addition to enhancing security, to "value the sense of belonging to the city and the pride of being part of a municipality celebrating its 35th anniversary this year."
The security plan includes specific measures for surveillance, prevention, and control at concerts, popular activities, and events with high crowd concentration. The involved bodies reviewed coordination protocols to respond quickly to any incident. Jesús Moreno emphasized that "security is one of the fundamental priorities of the municipal government," and Javier Juárez added that "anticipatory planning and coordination allow us to face festivals that attract thousands of people each year with maximum guarantees."
Additionally, the Local Security Board facilitated the signing of an amendment to the operational coordination procedure between the Civil Guard Command in Madrid, the Local Police, and the Tres Cantos City Council, aimed at improving the protection of gender violence victims. The goal is to ensure compliance with judicial protection measures and achieve a more agile response to risk situations in this area.
