Fuengirola to boost security for international fair with special operations plan

New for this year is an upgraded video surveillance system, including an aerial cable camera and 16 additional cameras positioned around the fairground. These will provide real-time images to help detect incidents more quickly and improve response times.

Elsewhere, police will carry out random traffic checks across the town, using mobile radar to monitor speeds and testing drivers for alcohol and drugs.

The measures also include a network of around 200 CCTV cameras in the town, increased foot patrols in busy commercial areas, enhanced public lighting in leisure zones, monitoring of personal mobility vehicles and public awareness campaigns on road safety and responsible e-scooter use.

“We are a safe and orderly town, but maintaining that depends on everyone playing their part. If anything does happen, our police and fire services will respond with their usual professionalism. I encourage everyone to enjoy the fair with the peace of mind and sense of celebration that characterise our town,” she said.
