Police Create Confidential Email For Expats To Report Crime.

Foreign residents are being urged to co-operate with the National Police in a new initiative to combat crime in the province of Malaga.

Anyone providing information via a special email address is guaranteed confidentiality.

Under the slogan, For a safe Costa del Sol, the campaign which launched last Friday aims to involve foreigners living in the province to help in improving their safety and reducing the incidence of serious crime. The source of any information supplied is guaranteed to be completely confidential and a team of specialist officers will make inquiries into every case reported.

To make it easier for non Spanish residents and to ensure the success of this pioneering scheme, emails can be sent in any language as a team of translators is available to the police. Publicity about the service has been issued in six different languages, as well as in Spanish and English.

To report a crime or information which may be of use to the police, send an email to: malaga.costadelsol@policia.es in total confidentiality.

The National Police say they hope that foreigners who have settled in Malaga province can participate in public security through this way of co-operation and integration in the area where they live.

The British government recently launched an initiative to catch UK benefit fraudsters in Spain. It invited free, confidential calls from informers on 900 554 440 to help investigators working with the Spanish authorities to identify those illegally claiming benefits from Britain.

Police Launch Online Display Of Stolen Items

The National Police have launched an online showcase of stolen items recovered in police operations, allowing robbery victims to search for their stolen property without travelling to a police station.

The items on display include jewellery, watches and other small personal items such as collector's coins, pen and pencil sets, lighters and more.

Police officials say the system is a major improvement for victims because they can search for their items from their own home, no matter where the goods were recovered.

The online system, located on the police website ( www.policia.es ) under the icon titled Exposición Virtual de Joyas, the items are grouped by type, with each category- Earrings for example - the user sees a selection of thumbnail photographs, which when clicked on show a full-size photo plus an indication of the police station and unit responsible for recovering the item and a contact phone number. Each item has a reference number for easy identification. (from the Costa del Sol News)
