In order to guarantee public safety on the beaches of Capdepera and to ensure compliance with current regulations, the local council and the local police are not only on the beach beat but are also carrying out a number of flash raids this month. The initiative, which is being carried out for the first time in the municipality, will be repeated throughout the season. "The idea is not to persecute those doing wrong, but deter them from coming to our beaches and misbehaving," explained the councillor for Public Safety, Mobility and the Environment, Manuel Filgueiras.

Nearly a year ago, while viewing a property with an estate agent, a large dog ran out of a neighbouring property, knocked me over, and bit my arm. I eventually kicked it off and it ran back, and the automatic gate closed. I rang and shouted outside to no avail, but after 20 minutes wait, a car emerged. I stood in front blocking it to force the driver to engage but he refused and eventually drove forward, pushing me onto his bonnet. I recorded all this on my phone, plus my bleeding arm. I went to the local police to report, who said it was responsibility of Guardia Civil. I went there and they said they could do nothing without a medical report. I went to the local clinic who charged me €115 for a report but wanted more to dress the wound (I washed it in the bathroom myself and reception kindly gave me a free plaster or two). I reported the entire incident to the GC in writing, with a Google translation, a photo of the owners house, a photo of my bleeding arm, stills from a video of him driving at me, his car registration, the name and address of the estate agent witness, the medical report, my home address, phone number and email. I heard nothing, and 9 months later when I enquired they said case closed as they could not track down the dog, or owner. The "owner" I'm now told, owns a major restaurant in town. Good luck!
Concentrate on the pervs in the Dunes, Preying on women and boats mooring just off shore putting swimmers at risk
A friendly non imposing presence of law enforcement personel is a non bothersome situation and actually welcome unfortunately it is seen nowadays as What the Hell is going on and people find it encroaching on there little private world I never go to the beach but can imagine it’s quite Full , the old Days were really better it’s really a Fact , why can’t we all learn how to live together obey the basic rules and live in peace , it’s not getting better for anyone .
I find this unbelievable! Police standing around like a load of pervs on a beach, in uniforms! Are they questioning people, searching them!?!? The descent into total tyranny is gaining pace. Do you seriously think this is OK people!?!? Oh well, one more thing to keep the tourists away! Suckers!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Long black-trousered uniforms on the beach in July and August? Poor sods. At least let them wear shorts for goodness sakes!
