Marbella opens the doors of the Local Police and Fire Station with guided tours

The Marbella City Council, as part of the European Week of Local Democracy, has launched a program of guided tours to the facilities of the Local Police Headquarters and the Fire Station. The initiative aims to bring citizens closer to the daily work of professionals who ensure safety and protection in the municipality, offering a didactic experience and open participation to all audiences.

The tours will take place on Saturday, October 4, at 11:00 AM, at the Fire Station, and on Friday, October 10, at 5:00 PM, at the Local Police Headquarters. Each tour will last approximately one hour and will have limited capacity. Registration is free but mandatory and can be done through the form enabled on the municipal website. Places will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis until capacity is reached.

At the Local Police Headquarters, attendees will have the opportunity to access areas usually restricted, such as the control room, and learn firsthand about the surveillance and communication systems used daily. They will also be able to see the fleet of vehicles, technical equipment, and discover how officers coordinate their daily work to ensure order, coexistence, and road safety in the city.

For its part, the Fire Station will host a tour of its facilities, where participants can familiarize themselves with the equipment and intervention trucks. The visit will show how firefighters prepare to act quickly in fires, traffic accidents, or rescues, highlighting the constant training and technical preparation their work requires. In addition, professionals will share practical prevention tips that can be crucial in emergency situations.

For all audiences

These activities are aimed at families, young people, and adults interested in closely understanding the operation of security and emergency bodies in Marbella. Additionally, this initiative adds to the numerous activities and campaigns that both departments regularly organize to bring their work closer to the citizens, such as school visits, sessions with different groups, or the Police Exhibition recently held at the Marbella Bullring, which gathered hundreds of residents around a practical demonstration of the work of the agents.

With this proposal, the City Council enhances the programming of the European Week of Local Democracy coordinated by the Citizen Participation delegation, which is celebrated until October 14 and includes, in addition to these visits, neighborhood meetings in the districts, school activities, a children's drawing contest, and an institutional event on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the European Charter of Local Self-Government. All information about the European Week of Local Democracy and access to registration forms is available on the municipal website.
