At the invitation of the Colonel of the Guardia Civil, Francisco Almansa, Commissioner of Police Richard Ullger and Assistant Commissioner Cathal Yeats were today in Algeciras where they attended the 180th anniversary parade of the founding of the Guardia Civil.  

A statement from the RGP follows below:

During the anniversary parade, various decorations were presented to Guardia Civil  officers and, in an emotional speech, the Colonel paid his respects to the Guardia  Civil officers who were recently murdered in Barbate. 

As well as the RGP officers, the parade was attended by mayors from the region, the  chiefs of the National and Regional Police forces, and officers from Morocco,  Portugal, and France.  

The Commissioner of Police thanked the Colonel for his invitation and for the way  that, together, they are able to have an exceptional working relationship. By means  of this relationship – and by working hard together – they hope to keep everyone  safe, both on the Rock and in the Campo of Gibraltar.
