Mayor Ana Mula highlights the effort of the entire city and the preventive work of the Special Security Device, which has logged over 10,500 hours of service between June and early September.
The Summer Special Security Device of the Local Police of Fuengirola has closed the summer season with 13,267 actions in over 10,500 hours of service, with no serious incidents recorded in the municipality. This was announced by the mayor, Ana Mula, at a press conference held this Friday alongside the delegated councillors and heads of the services that operated during the peak months.
The mayor attributed these results to the collective effort of the city: "Once again, it is a success of the entire city: hoteliers, restaurateurs, merchants, beach entrepreneurs, workers from all economic sectors, professionals, municipal employees… Ultimately and decisively: it has been made possible thanks to each and every resident of Fuengirola along with the action of the City Council."
Of the total police interventions, most focused on traffic management, with 10,434 fines and around 70 random checks across all neighbourhoods. From these, 48 charges for drunk driving, 97 for driving under the influence of drugs, and 219 for speeding were recorded by mobile radars.
In terms of public safety, 293 proceedings for crimes have been recorded, mostly related to intellectual property, with the seizure of 7,284 counterfeit items. Additionally, 1,800 municipal ordinance violations, 760 humanitarian aid interventions, and 30 preventive checks of recreational vessels in coordination with the maritime Civil Guard have been processed.
Mula specifically thanked the work of the officers: "It is reassuring to know that we work on preventing all types of incidents but also that when any complex circumstance occurs in our city, we have the best response, with committed, professional, and effective officers."
On the coast, the Rescue and Lifeguard Service has carried out around 25,000 actions, most of them preventive. Over 5,000 swimming assists have been provided in the four areas adapted for people with reduced mobility, a service that was nationally recognised in 2026 by the Association of Environmental Education and Consumers, the entity that awards Blue Flags. Beach lifeguards have conducted nearly 50,000 actions, many of them to inform and report behaviours contrary to the ordinances and to control street vending.
The Aerial Surveillance Service with drones has completed 388 flight hours, 68% more than in 2025, and 2,635 real missions, 74% more than the previous summer. It has assisted the lifeguard service in rescuing people at risk of drowning on 21 occasions.
The mayor also highlighted the work of cleaning and maintenance, reinforced with 28 additional workers, and defended the overall state of the city despite constant traffic. "Together, the City Council, the tourism industry, and the people of Fuengirola form one large team of which I am tremendously proud," concluded Mula, who described the season as a "great summer."
