The Alcobendas consistory finances a technological police post in El Soto de La Moraleja

The local government of Alcobendas has given the green light to a budget of six hundred thousand euros to build a next-generation police module in the El Soto de La Moraleja area. This project will replace the traditional guard post with a contemporary infrastructure that incorporates cutting-edge technology to strengthen protection in the area. The works will be carried out during 2026, ensuring that the surveillance service is not interrupted. The goal is to transform a static control point into an operational hub that processes information and organizes interventions more effectively. 🚔

The installation will feature advanced monitoring systems

The new space will house computer equipment and high-definition surveillance cameras, as well as technology that automatically reads license plates. This enables agents to monitor entry to the urbanizations and act more quickly in the event of any incident. The infrastructure aims to deter criminal activities and reduce response times, centralizing operations from a single technologically equipped point.

Main features of the new module:
  • Integrates servers to manage real-time security data.
  • Implements high-definition cameras to cover a wide perimeter.
  • Includes automated systems to identify vehicle license plates.
The classic guard post, that icon of fixed surveillance, evolves into an information hub where the screen expands the agent's observation capacity, marking an era-changing shift in citizen security.

The project prioritizes staff well-being and urban integration

The initiative not only updates the technical equipment but also provides agents with suitable facilities for working and taking breaks. The building's design seeks to better harmonize with the residential environment of the sector, facilitating access for neighbors who require police assistance. Thus, operational effectiveness is fused with staff comfort and a closer relationship with the community.

Benefits of the new design:
  • Improves working conditions with functional and ergonomic spaces.
  • Its architecture visually adapts to the surrounding residential landscape.
  • Facilitates direct and accessible attention to citizens.

A qualitative leap in local security management

This advance represents a profound transformation in how protection is managed in Alcobendas. Moving from a passive observation post to a technological nerve center allows for coordinating resources, analyzing information, and deploying agents in a more intelligent and rapid manner. The investment reflects a commitment to modernizing essential public services, prioritizing prevention and efficiency in response. 🔒
