ALMERIA city council announced it will be investing just short of €33,000 euros in 52 bullet and punch-proof vests for its Local Police force.

Economy Councillor Maria Vazquez described the vests as “a basic element of police protection”, saying that added to the approximately 130 vests already supplied to officers there should be a sufficient number to cover the city force’s needs.

Vazquez also said the council would also be investing €310,000 in a new light urban fire engine for the Fire Extinction and Safety Service.
