Nuria Bravo is the Citizen Security councilor of the Gijón City Council, a role she combines with her work as commander of the Helimer Cantábrico, with which she will participate in the Air Festival exhibition today. The interview was conducted yesterday, shortly before the councilor took up her position at the El Musel base.
The PSOE criticizes the fact that instead of acting as a councilor during the Air Festival, she will participate in the exhibition. Bravo responds by saying that she can perfectly balance her work as a councilor with her duties at Helimer. She emphasizes the importance of working hard and being dedicated to her responsibilities.
The councilor addresses various issues related to safety and security in Gijón. She explains that the ban on swimming during the Air Festival is due to aeronautical regulations. Additionally, she mentions the presence of jellyfish in the area, which can lead to beach closures for safety reasons.
Bravo also talks about the increase in population during the summer months and the protocols in place to ensure public safety. She discusses the ongoing negotiations with the Local Police regarding their collective agreement and how it impacts security measures during large events like the Air Festival.
She also mentions the upcoming installation of cameras in rural areas to enhance security. Due to a delay caused by a legal challenge, the cameras are expected to be operational by the end of December or early January. The decision to install cameras has been well received in rural communities, who also request increased police presence in the area.
Bravo highlights the success of the drone unit in the Police Local of Gijón, which has proven to be very useful for various surveillance and search operations. She also addresses concerns about dangerous dog attacks in the city and urges citizens to report any violations of the strict regulations in place.
In terms of infrastructure, Bravo mentions the upcoming inauguration of a new Police Station and the ongoing plans for a new fire station. She emphasizes the importance of tackling noise and emission control issues, especially during summer festivals, and encourages citizens to report any disturbances.
Overall, the interview provides valuable insights into the efforts being made to ensure public safety and security in Gijón. From new technologies like drones to improved infrastructure and increased collaboration with other security forces, the city is taking proactive steps to address various safety concerns. With a focus on community engagement and effective management, Gijón is working towards creating a safe and secure environment for all residents and visitors.
