Police in Spain / Spanish Police number
The Local Police (policía local), the National Police (Policía Nacional), and the Civil Guard (Guardia Civil) make up the three different types of police forces in Spain. The National Police has the widest range of responsibilities, as they look after national security, organised crime, and terrorism. The local or municipal police are likely the first police that you will see. They are recruited by the local town hall or Ayuntamiento. The local police deal with crimes in each local area, including traffic offences, theft and disputes. Finally, the guardia civil is Spain’s oldest police force. It is run by the military and primarily operates in rural areas and on the autovia or motorway. But its not uncommon to see the guardia civil waiting on local roads that join the motorway.
