This Wednesday, thirty new trainee civil guards have been presented at the sub-delegation of the Government of the Canary Islands. These agents will replace the twenty who entered last June, although they will coincide for two months, so that the body will have 237 officers, of which 187 are professionals.
The distribution of these agents will be done according to the needs of each municipality. To the request for more agents in Yaiza by Coalición Canaria, Marcial Martín has replied that "this municipality has two Civil Guard posts, one in the town itself and another in Playa Blanca".
At the end of June, new places will be announced for professionals of the body, which will be awarded in August, coinciding with the departure of the trainee agents who entered last year.
Marcial Martín has also referred during this presentation to the crime rate in Lanzarote. Although he has not provided data, the sub-delegate has indicated that it remains constant compared to the first four months of last year, with a downward trend. Coinciding with the arrival of a boat with immigrants to Lanzarote, Martín has assured that the profile of the criminal is not an immigrant, but is generally "drug addicts who become drug criminals who commit petty thefts to get their dose".
