Chueca emphasized the mission of these agents to be approachable and respected by citizens, while the new members took their oath amid applause and cheers.

A crowd cheers from Plaza del Pilar as 104 new uniformed officers take their oath, with Mayor Chueca in the background and 34 promoted officers in formation.

Cybersecurity and drones in the new police training 🚁

The new officers have completed a training program that integrates specific modules in cybersecurity and the use of drones for urban surveillance. A real-time geolocation system has been incorporated to optimize patrol assignments, reducing response times by 15%. Additionally, new digital control panels have been installed in district police stations, allowing for smoother coordination between intervention units and the communications center.

Goodbye to fines, hello to selfies with the mayor 📸

The mayor promised approachable officers, but Zaragoza residents are already wondering if that means they will be allowed to double park without penalty. For now, the new police officers have been instructed to smile and take selfies with citizens, although some veterans fear that the next class might include an urban dance course. Good thing the surveillance drone has no sense of humor.
