National Police (PN) spokesman Simón Diaz announced yesterday that the PN’s chief, Major General José Aníbal Sanz Jiminián, has ordered a nationwide mobilization of 25,000 police officers starting next Monday with the aim of keeping the holidays safe for citizens. The operation will last until Three Kings Day (Epiphany), January 6th. Diaz said that normal citizens have nothing to fear from the deployment, but delinquents should think twice before attempting anything because "we’re going to be drastic with them."
