The Annual General Meeting of the National Association of Police Well-being Advisers, NAPWA, was held on 3rd June in Oxford in the United Kingdom.
At the meeting current Chairman the Royal Gibraltar Police’s PC Henry Sacramento was re-elected as Chairman for a further year.
Officers of the Royal Gibraltar Police's Marine Section last night detained four Spanish nationals for drugs offences following a chase at sea.
Following receipt of information that there was a suspect vessel travelling in BGTW and heading into the bay the RGP proceeded to intercept it. The chase headed west straying into Spanish waters at which point the vessel was detained.
The lawyer and former GSLP House of Assembly member Albert Isola has been selected by the executive committee of the GSLP to stand as a candidate in next month’s by-election. The decision still needs to be approved by the party’s membership at a meeting later this evening.
The Government has issued the following statement on the quality of the water at Western Beach:
Western Beach consistently had excellent bacterial water quality prior to 2010. Since then, and especially during periods of rainfall in the winter months, there have been erratic episodes associated with sewage discharges from a storm water drain from La Linea which significantly affected the bacterial water quality at this beach. Nevertheless, it was possible to open Western Beach last summer since bathing water quality was acceptable from an EU bathing water perspective during this period.
