The new Deputy Director of Operations (DAO) of the National Police, Chief Commissioner José Luis Santafé – until now the Chief Superintendent of Police in the Balearic Islands – made it clear during his swearing-in ceremony that the force investigates "to the fullest extent" any abuse, misconduct, or irregularity that may occur within its ranks. He reaffirmed his commitment to protecting victims of sexual assault or harassment, but warned that "generalizing" and suspecting the entire institution and its leadership is "extremely dangerous." In the presence of the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska; the Deputy Secretary of State, Aina Calvo; the Director General of the Police, Francisco Pardo; the entire police leadership; and the Director of the National Intelligence Center (CNI), Esperanza Casteleiro, as well as representatives of the armed forces and police unions, the Chief Commissioner emphasized that the Police is an "extraordinary, loyal, modern institution at the service of Spain."
