"I will put on the table the need to promote a strategic plan for a safe city. In this plan not only Interior and the City Council must participate, but other councils such as Labor, Social Affairs and Families and Justice, as well as town councils of the consistory, should be able to participate, "he said. Buch recalled that the 466 new agents belonging to the last promotion, who are in training period and who are part of the summer reinforcement plan, have already been incorporated throughout the territory and central services: "We foresee that the 190 agents they are incorporated during the next months, "he said. But it will not be before summer. If the councilor has commented that not all those who arrive to Barcelona reinforcement will be of the last promotion. "There will be a redistribution of troops."

The conseller has also pointed to the multi-incidents as one of the main problems to face the increase of thefts: "We are interested in that the delinquents stop being in the street", and he has said that the fines all they do is encourage them to keep stealing to pay them.

Today, La Vanguardia collects in a report on delinquency in the subway, the testimony of a delinquent who shows a sheaf of fines that she has to pay. And to do so, he recognizes, he has to keep stealing, because it is his alternative to not entering prison.
