Between June and August, the inexperienced patrol opened 227 information for various infractions. Over a summer season marked by conflicts between residents and institutions, particularly in Santa Catalina and La Lonja, the patrol is alleged to have intensified its actions to watch compliance with municipal ordinance.
Virtually 100 of those information had been for unlawful occupation of the general public manner, which mainly means exceeding permitted terrace area. This was a difficulty in Santa Catalina specifically. Others included music exterior permitted hours (41 information) and serving alcohol to be consumed on the general public manner (31).
However though the city corridor says that there was an intensification of motion, residents complained of a lack of police to manage disturbances in the principle nightlife areas, particularly at weekends. One resident maintains that on one evening in the course of August, when there was a delay in responding to a criticism, officers themselves admitted that there was just one unit from throughout the inexperienced patrol for the entire of Palma.
The general public security division on the city corridor responded to this by saying: “We can’t give knowledge on what number of items there are in operation, nor what number of officers can be found, for safety causes.”
