Marbella will deploy more than half a thousand officers to ensure public safety every day during the San Bernabé Fair and Festivities 2025, which will take place from June 9 to 15. The spokesperson for the Local Police and inspector Miguel Ángel Benítez, noted, after the coordination meeting of the special unit held this morning, that about 50 officers from this force will be present each day, in addition to the regular service that works in morning, afternoon, and night shifts. They will be joined by members of the fire department, National Police, Civil Guard, and Civil Protection, "who will work together to ensure that everything goes smoothly without incidents." He also pointed out that the areas of greatest focus will be the daytime and nighttime venues, in addition to the surrounding areas and entertainment zones that operate during the festivities. In this effort, surveillance cameras will also be used, as he specified, while reminding that the municipality has a total of 360 cameras.

On the other hand, he explained that "although the deployment starts on the 9th, it will be operational before and after the celebration of such an important event for the city that attracts a large number of visitors." "There are complementary aspects, such as the closure of streets to traffic, which we will report through the social networks of the City Council and the Local Police, to inform the public about them and the alternatives we propose," he specified.

Regarding the local police, he detailed that "not only will those in uniform be on the streets, but also plainclothes officers, and we will also have at the festivities the canine unit and the squadron, among other units that are less noticeable to the public but will be working for their safety." In today's meeting, the Councilor for Security, José Eduardo Díaz, the Councilor for Festivities, Yolanda Marín, and the heads of the various security forces participated.
