Nerja Mayor, José Alberto Armijo, welcomed the new officers during a ceremony last week and wished them "all the luck" in their work. "Your incorporation into the staff of the local lolice of Nerja is a clear indicator of the commitment of this government to ensure that the body has the necessary human resources,” said the mayor in a statement.
With these additions, the number of local police staff now stands at 40 and there are plans to fill a further 10 vacancies through secondments this year, bringing the total to 50 officers.
