New plan by the Mossos d'Esquadra to tackle repeated offenses: more Arro and Brimo officers on the streets

The Catalan police have launched a new plan to combat the phenomenon of multiple reoffending. It's called the Kanpai plan and replaces the current Tremall plan, following an extensive analysis by the new Catalan police leadership. As explained this Sunday by the ARA in a dossier on multiple recidivismThe Kanpai plan will be launched in the coming days and will begin outside of Barcelona city, as it will be implemented in metropolitan areas. According to Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan Police), one of the new features is that the public order units, the Arro (Arro Police) and the Mobile Brigade (Brigade Mobile), will be incorporated into citizen security efforts. In other words, they will "saturate" critical areas more to "eliminate the feeling of impunity," also identifying potential suspects. This is a long-term plan, and Mossos d'Esquadra sources already warn that it will not immediately reduce the figures. However, the number of property crimes is falling, and in 2024, Barcelona recorded its lowest theft rate of the decade.
