The Puigcerdà Town Council presented a new Local Police vehicle this Friday, a model specifically equipped with a security screen to ensure the safe transport of detainees during operations.

The new addition is a Seat Ateca 1.5 TSI Style with 150hp. This vehicle is intended for regular patrolling but also includes a specialized partition to protect officers when transporting individuals in custody, a feature previously unavailable in the local fleet.

"It is necessary to provide the local police force with the resources to work with quality and effectiveness."

The car also features a top-mounted digital panel that displays messages regarding police actions, such as checkpoints or traffic stops. Acquired through the Catalan Association of Municipalities via leasing, this vehicle represents a step forward in modernizing security in Puigcerdà.
