Matosinhos asks the MAI to review the regime of municipal police in Lisbon and Porto

The Mayor of Matosinhos, Luísa Salgueiro, is requesting a review of the special regime for municipal police in Lisbon and Porto from the Minister of Internal Administration. She argues that this model weakens metropolitan command by diverting resources from the PSP. Salgueiro emphasizes the need to reassess the recruitment regime for municipal police to align it with other municipalities. The letter highlights the urgency of increasing PSP personnel in the Porto Metropolitan Area to enhance police presence and response capabilities. Additionally, she seeks to clarify and expand the competencies of municipal police to meet current security demands.
