Just two weeks ago, the agents of the Madrid Prevention and Reaction Unit (UPR) denounced be mired in the most absolute chaos. An acute chaos in recent months and to which the lack of foresight and the neglect of their superiors. A complicated situation whose only answer has been to “point out the way out to which you do not agree.” Or what is the same, far from assuming any responsibility for the lack of forecast, from the Headquarters of the Unit and the Brigade the following message is transferred: “Who does not like it, there he has the door.”
However, that neglect of controls and that bad work environment does not seem to limit the UPR. Chaos extends to other units and police stations in Madrid such as Puente de Vallecas, where the Office of Complaints and Citizens Attention (ODAC) is “Overloaded, with a shortage of troops and command deficit”. This is denounced from the Spanish Police Confederation (CEP), which explains how agents are “forced to assume more volume of complaints and responsibilities that do not correspond to them, such as exercising office chiefs.”
It should be noted that the Puente de Vallecas police station is the third in Madrid in number of crimes. But for a long time, others such as “Unpublished increase in procedures and efforts Documentaries “, which did not occur before and causes the police to spend more time in the police units than patrolling.” They demand minutes with so much level of detail, that every time it intervenes in the district you have to pass a calvary to write little less than the crowded of 11-M “, underline (not without some irony) from the police union.”Police burn under tons of minutes, reports and parties“They insist.
The Superior Headquarters “looks the other way”
“There are so many complaints of all the scales that we believe we have to go around the way of directing this police station,” they explain from the CEP. So much so, whatE Up to 30 companions would have asked to leave Vallecas Puentebecoming the district with more requests to leave. Because, to these problems, we must add the “limitations” imposed on collaboration between citizen care groups (GAC) and response operation (GOR) groups. Limits that, in his opinion, “touch the ridicule”, since Both units work on the street “Codo with elbow”.
But there is even more. “Calls and more calls on your day free to present yourself in the Secretariat to deliver minutes and other documents for absences or casualties (problem that seems to be in the process of solution). Or Very little skillful prohibitions In a district with such crime, that they prevent the service coordinators from going to patrol out except for very exceptional cases, “they clarify. And all this, given the neglect and laziness of the superior headquarters of Madrid that “Look elsewhere”.
In short, the Spanish Police Confederation gives a touch of attention to the Superior Headquarters of Madrid to “take the reins” and carry out a change in forms. They demand to end once and for all with the “peculiar interpretations” of some police officers and free agents from excess bureaucracy.
