New police station planned for Jumilla
The northern Murcia town is getting a new centre for police to increase safety and security
Jumilla will get a new headquarters for its police force with the construction of a new building.
The new offices, which are due to span across a total of 900 square metres, will consist of two floors, operational areas, customer service, headquarters and services.
The building, once finished, will house the municipality’s Local Police and Civil Protection. Having lacked the adequate headquarters for a number of years, the work is welcomed by the forces, who can see the prospect of a new building on the horizon.
The mayor, Seve González, explained, “The current police headquarters was provisionally handed over to the Local Police in 2007 and they are still there, in a building that does not meet the conditions they need, and now this new project can finally get underway.”
The project’s architect, Francisco Javier Giménez, explained that the new building will sufficiently house the current police force of the area and will also have adequate space for civil protection.
The ground floor area will be divided into a public service area with a large entrance hall, an operational area with a meeting room, a multipurpose room and the canine unit with an enclosed outdoor patio for dog training.
The first floor will be divided into two areas, the management area and the service area. Mostly consisting of various offices and service areas for the safe, the first floor will also have an outdoor terrace.
This Security and Emergency building will be located very close to the current police headquarters on Calle Ingeniero de la Cierva, bordering Calle Formación Agraria, to the northeast of the municipal swimming pool.
The mayor, Seve González, also explained, “Now that we have the project drawn up, it is time to look for funding. The cost of this project is around two million euros and we have to get all the groups to agree to find a way to finance this necessary work for the municipality.”
