The National Police force took advantage of last Friday’s celebrations to mark the day of their patron to announce positive crime statistics.
The general crime rate for the province of Malaga has fallen for the second year running while police efficiency (that is the number of cases solved) has improved. Hilario López Luna, the Government representative for the province of Malaga, explained that crime in Marbella has fallen more than the provincial average, by around 11 per cent so far this year. Meanwhile the fall in the city of Malaga has been around the same as last year: 5.5 per cent.
López Luna added that police efficiency had gone up this year from 32 to 38 per cent, and the number of arrests made in the province had gone up from 4,736 to 5,623.
During last week’s celebrations several members of the force received medals for police merit and tribute was paid to officers who had lost their lives while on duty.
