The Garriguella Town Council has begun installing a new video surveillance system, with an investment of €32,200, to bolster citizen security and prevent anti-social behavior in the municipality.

The council has allocated €32,200, entirely funded by the Town Council, for the implementation of a video surveillance system aimed at improving control in sensitive areas and preventing uncivil behavior.
The new equipment includes a license plate reader camera connected to the Mossos d’Esquadra (Catalan regional police), which will enhance vehicle control at the municipality's access points and assist police work in the event of incidents.
In parallel, nine video surveillance cameras are being installed in strategic locations within Garriguella, chosen for their sensitivity. These devices will be placed in public parking areas, municipal entrances, the recycling center, and various waste container zones.
Through this initiative, the council aims to provide new tools to prevent uncivil conduct, protect public spaces, and foster better neighborly coexistence.
The installation work is expected to conclude this week, after which the new system will become operational.
