The Office of Interior of the Consell de Formentera is pleased to report on an information day that took place at IES Marc Ferrer yesterday. The encounter was designed to help pupils at the secondary school understand the functions of the local police, to make sure they recognise its members as local figures, and to offer information to those interested in work on the force as a job option.

Local police officers talked to the students about the work of the local police department. In the school courtyard, they also showed the equipment they work with, like drones, and their fleet of vehicles. In addition, the canine unit performed a demonstration for the students. This is the second such event; the first took place last school year.
