Two officers from the Santa Pola Local Police Canine Service are set to receive national medals in recognition of their outstanding work in animal protection.
Police officers Manuel Ibáñez Prado and Roberto Martínez García will be awarded the Police Merit Medal with Silver Badge (Medalla al Mérito Policial con Distintivo de Plata) during an official ceremony in Madrid on 19th June.
The attendance of Manuel Ibáñez Prado and Roberto Martínez García at the prestigious event in the capital highlights the efforts of the local Santa Pola Canine Service on a national level. Their work underscores a growing approach to animal protection across the state, establishing prevention, investigation, and professional sensitivity as essential duties rather than optional extras within local law enforcement.
