JUCIL association requests more Guardia Civil support on El Hierro

The JUCIL association submitted a request to the Dirección General of the Guardia Civil to increase the number of officers on El Hierro. This request follows a migration crisis with 6700 people arriving on the island since the start of November.

JUCIL states that current resources are insufficient. One patrol of the Seguridad Ciudadana unit manages arriving migrants and the needs of the entire island. A second patrol manages the airport. The organisation requests additional security resources, better meals, and a 100 euro bonus for every 4-hour overtime shift.

JUCIL criticises the logistics. Officers receive notifications of changes from one day to the next. Officers must find their own accommodation. JUCIL demands decent rest conditions and better personnel planning.
