The police presence has been increased in various parts of Palma such as Playa de Palma, Son Sant Joan airport and the city centre.
The operation began in mid-March and is made up of officers from the Provincial Public Safety Brigade, in addition to the Judicial Police group from the police stations of Playa de Palma, Centre and West, with the collaboration of Palma Local Police.
The UIP reinforcement units, the Mobile Transport Police Brigade, the Canine Unit and a contingent of plainclothes officers have also been added to the operation.
The Mobile Brigade will focus on transport, both on the ferries to and from the mainland and between islands, as well as trains, metro and bus stations that connect Palma with the rest of the island.
The police will also support the airports and the border force, as well as the control of marinas.

I hope they deal with the " Hells Angels". More Policia and Guardia are needed now.
Crime and Anti social behaviour and respect for other people´s rights as well as the very Liberal treatment these people receive from the Judicial in Spain has been and will continue to be an issue , talk is cheap and as usual real change take´s years and is quite simply expensive , be careful there are a lot of very nasty people out there and most likely they will be back from the police station cleaning the rest from your house before you finish your paper work .
When did it become necessary to have extra police? Possibly terrorism reasons? But why do we have that worry? Because of the type of people coming of boats and a certain type that want to blow people up or stab people randomly. That's why we need the extra security because of the governments decisions to import the 3rd world.
'ring of steel' = a few cops standing about not doing anything in particular.
