These are who you'd call for a noise complaint. There's also, as I said, the policía nacional and the guardia civil, both operating in the whole country. And some autonomías (states, if Spain was federal...ish, which it sort of kind of is somewhat supposed to be, in theory, but effectively isn't, in practice) also have their own police force (which doesn't mean the others won't also operate there, of course). It's a complicated country, mostly because it's really several, held together with duct tape and, occasionally, barbed wire. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [+] SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 2 months ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] DamnianWayne@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) Is there large public demand to disband them? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [+] SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 2 months ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
