Cort continues with the plan to reorganize the Local Police, but warns: "It's a complicated situation"

PalmPalma City Council is pushing forward with its plan to reorganize the Local Police, despite the discontent of police unions, which are continuing their planned demonstrations, boycotts, and protests. This was confirmed on Tuesday by the spokesperson for the governing board and Councilor for Public Service, Mercedes Celeste, who acknowledged that the process is unfolding in a complex context. "We are moving forward with the negotiations, but it is a complicated situation," she admitted.

Celeste defended the need to reform the current system because, among other issues, the specific supplement "is not proportional" and every time an improvement is attempted, the Administration "runs into a brick wall." In this regard, she pointed out that the City Council currently lacks its own tool to objectively evaluate the work of the Local Police officers, which is why an external company was hired. "There is no definitive way to evaluate the work, so having a manual is essential," she stated. The councilwoman emphasized that the company has already contacted the heads of the City Council departments to move forward with this evaluation system, but she wanted to make it clear that the process will not be forced. "I'm not going to pressure any civil servant to sign anything if they don't feel comfortable," she assured, also insisting that doing things right "is fundamental," even if it means facing tensions with union representatives.
