"Biggest Security Presence Ever"

From today's Valencia Life newsletter....

AMERICAS CUP
BEEFING UP SECURITY

The security measures for the Americas Cup races were announced yesterday, and these envisage some 2,000 policemen on almost constant watch. 1,500 of these will be from the national police, The Guardia Civil and the Maritime Security services, whilst the remaining five hundred would be from the Municipal police force. The new force will have 24 boats, five helicopters and over two hundred CCTV cameras that will serve to create a security area around Valencia Port. The Socialist government has called the operation ‘the biggest security presence ever realised for this sort of event’.
