The Traffic and Complaints Unit of the Telde Local Police registered a total of 1,014 interventions during the first half of 2026. This figure represents a 9.7% increase compared to the same period last year, when 924 actions were recorded.
The data details the agents' activity in areas such as road safety, accident response, police investigations, Social Police, alcohol and drug checks, as well as administrative and animal protection actions.
Among the most significant figures, accidents with only material damage increased from 379 to 429, while accidents with injuries and material damage decreased from 112 to 99. Accident-related appearances rose from 83 to 108, and hit-and-run incidents doubled, from 13 to 26.
In the Social Police sphere, an increase was observed in interventions for the location of minors (from 14 to 18) and in actions related to minors and school absenteeism (from 1 to none).
The Environmental Police also recorded growth in animal-related interventions, increasing from 3 to 12 actions, addressing cases of abandonment, aggression, and other animal welfare situations.
Regarding driving prevention and control, administrative citations for alcohol decreased from 100 to 91, and proceedings for driving without a license from 96 to 86. However, administrative citations related to drugs increased significantly from 8 to 32.
The head of the Telde Local Police, Félix Santana, highlighted that these figures reflect the "daily work" and the "diversity of situations" requiring agent intervention, extending beyond traffic and accidents to include social care, protection of minors, and animals.
Santana added that the overall increase in interventions demonstrates "greater operational activity" and response capacity, aiming to "continue improving attention, prevention, and safety, with a Local Police force that is close and present in the city".
For his part, the mayor of Telde, Juan Antonio Peña, praised the "work that the Local Police agents carry out daily," emphasizing their immediate response and direct attention to citizens.
Peña stated that these data allow for "a better understanding of where and how police activity is concentrated" and help to "continue working to improve safety and coexistence in Telde," acknowledging that "behind each figure there is an intervention, an attention, or a response to a specific need of our neighbors".
The Telde City Council will continue analyzing these indicators to understand incident evolution, reinforce prevention, and adapt municipal services to citizen needs.
