Coordination between administrations
The celebration of the COP25 in Madrid is a great challenge for the State Security Forces, who have designed the security device in record time and covers not only the facilities of the IFEMA Fairgrounds (Madrid), where It will develop the Summit, but includes a large part of the capital and the Community of Madrid as well as certain points in the rest of Spain. In addition, this Summit is celebrated on dates of great influx of visitors to Madrid by the December Bridge and the proximity of the Christmas holidays.
In this regard, we must highlight the extraordinary coordination between administrations that has made possible the design of the security device, a coordination that will be maintained throughout the COP25.
The UN, responsible for the organization of the Summit, will be the one who assumes the security device inside the IFEMA pavilions where COP25 is held.
The Municipal Police of Madrid, for its part, will contribute to the device with agents that will be responsible, among other things, for the management of mobility in Madrid and for supporting delegations and their movements, while the Ministry of Defense will support air safety matter.
The device has been designed not only to guarantee security at IFEMA headquarters, but also in the rest of activities scheduled in Madrid for the Summit as well as in the mobilizations convened by different groups.
