Azpeitia Local Police remain unarmed months after officer's murder
The Erne union has publicly denounced that Azpeitia Local Police continue to lack standard-issue weapons, according to Google News ES — Crime (es) citing El Diario Vasco.
The situation, which the union describes as unacceptable, occurs following the murder of an officer in the same Guipuzcoan locality. Erne emphasises that officers carry out their duties without the basic safety equipment that their work requires.
The union's complaint points directly at the administration responsible for the force, demanding that it urgently address this shortfall. The union has not specified how many officers are affected by the lack of standard weapons nor has it provided a specific timeframe for their demands.
The murder case in Azpeitia has reopened the debate over the safety conditions of local police forces in the Basque Country, particularly in medium-sized municipalities where resources allocated to equipment may be more limited.
