| The acquisition of these vehicles will facilitate the work of the agents and will contribute to improving air quality | The Governing Board has approved the award of the supply of three hybrid off-road vehicles destined for the Local Police, with an investment of 132,980 euros. One of the priorities of the Government Team is to reinforce the resources, both human and material, that the Local Police has since Murcia is one of the largest and most decentralized municipalities in Spain and the acquisition of these Vehicles will make it easier for the police to serve the entire territory more effectively. In this way, the acquisition of these vehicles, in addition to facilitating the work of the agents, allows increasing the levels of security and immediate attention throughout the municipality. The Department of Citizen Security and Economic Management works to incorporate sustainable vehicles to the Local Police fleet in order to reduce emissions, in line with the municipal Clean Air strategy, which is committed to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and the improvement of air quality, creating a more sustainable city. Thus, the acquisition of two hybrid patrol vehicles and two electric motorcycles is already in tender.

In addition, last March 13 new mobile units were presented for the agents: 8 motorcycles, 4 vans and a truck, which were added to the existing ones, reaching 282 units. In 2016, 2 SUVs, 13 passenger cars, a car with mobile radar for speed controls and 5 motorcycles were added to the fleet.

In 2017, 7 SUVs were added to increase the police presence in the countryside and mountain areas of the villages.
