Jaén's Local Police recorded over 13,200 interventions during 2025, covering citizen security, traffic control, and urban surveillance.

The annual report from the Jaén Local Police details that over 13,200 actions in prevention and surveillance were carried out throughout 2025. The report emphasizes a "constant improvement of the service" in terms of both personnel numbers and equipment, which is directly reflected in the statistics.
The mayor of Jaén, Julio Millán, along with the Councilor for Citizen Security, María del Carmen Angulo, Chief Superintendent Luis Ojeda, and Superintendent Gustavo Vega, presented this balance. Millán highlighted that his two terms have been "the most fruitful in improvements for the force," with the largest incorporation of police officers and renewal of vehicles and equipment since 2009, currently reaching 168 officers, with 19 more to be added soon.
These improvements translate into data: it is expected that the 13,208 actions from 2025 will be surpassed in 2026, a figure higher than the 12,248 recorded in 2024. Of the 2025 interventions, 51% (7,890) were related to citizen security, followed by traffic control and road safety (4,108) and various surveillance and control tasks (1,300).
The mayor stated that Jaén "is not a particularly unsafe or uncivil city," noting that arrests remain similar to 2024, with a slight increase in gender-based violence cases and a reduction in traffic surveillance. However, controls and sanctions for uncivil behavior related to street cleaning increased, from 171 to 238.
Councilor María del Carmen Angulo emphasized the Local Police's proximity and presence in neighborhoods. She mentioned the activation of over 60 new surveillance cameras controlled by the police, which enhance prevention and response, especially in sensitive areas and concerning misuse or uncontrolled dumping. She also highlighted the force's fundamental role in organizing and ensuring safety during the city's urban and mobility changes, such as the future launch of the tram.
Chief Superintendent Luis Ojeda evidenced the "good health" of the service, highlighting that full staffing will allow for the reinstatement of the Green Patrol and District Local Police. Furthermore, the number of plainclothes officers ('Romeo') has increased from 15 to 40. Ojeda stressed the importance of mediation in resolving conflicts and preventing more serious situations, often reconciling residents' interests.
