Sources from the Cieza City Council's Human Resources Department report that a new officer officially took office this week as a member of the Local Police Force.
The ceremony, held in the Blue Room, was attended by, among others, the new police officer, Miguel Ángel Sánchez Guardiola, a native of Cieza who until now had worked in the Jumilla Local Police; the mayor, Pascual Lucas; the Councilor for Human Resources, María Jesús López; and the Chief Inspector of the Municipal Police, María José Hernández.
The officer is coming to fill a mobility position, partially offsetting the shortfall resulting from a leave of absence in January 2019 and three transfers of officers from Cieza to the Murcia Local Police at the beginning of September.
In this way, the Local Police force is beginning to adapt to the needs of a municipality like Cieza, which will also be aided by the addition of 16 new officers soon after the completion of the tests that began last week.
