Guardia Civil Exhibition

Tomorrow in the parking area adjacent to Zenia Boulevard we will be lucky enough to have an open day and exhibition by the Guardia Civil. “Jornadas de Puertas Abiertas”. This is to celebrate 175 years of Spanish Service.

The officers who serve as part of the Guardia Civil are highly regarded as part of one of Spain’s most prized institutions. They work alongside the Policia National and the Policia Local to provide safety and security throughout the country.

They will be showcasing the equipment and latest technology they use in the field for urban safety and crime prevention.

The open day will give local people the chance to meet the local Alicante police officers first hand.  Those men and women who work to keep us safe and secure.

The force will be exhibiting their latest specialist vehicles, which includes a wide variety of patrol cars and their high-performance traffic motorbikes. Visitors will be able to take a look inside the vehicles and officers will be there to explain the role of each vehicle.

This will be a family event hoping to get all ages interested in what the Guardia Civil do.  It has been confirmed in attendance will be members from the Maritime Service, the Air Service, Underwater Activites Group, Seprona (Service of the protection of Nature), Traffic, Mountain Rescue and many more….

There will be a chance to see the K-9 dog unit, showing how the loveable police dogs are trained and how they work together with their handler.

The Guardia Civil Judo team will be putting on a show letting us see their hand to hand combat and martial arts skills.

Weather permitting the police helicopter from the Guardia Civil police aviation unit will also take to the skies.

The event starts at 10 am and runs throughout the day until 6pm.

So if you are interested in seeing exactly what the Guardia Civil do, pop down tomorrow and say hi to the officers and enjoy a few hours with them and get an insight into what they do for us in the area.
