Overview
- The city presented the intensified Pla Endreça on Wednesday, June 3, announcing 11 new videovigilance cameras to monitor access points along the Front Marítim near Barceloneta.
- Officials say the cameras will not film the sand to comply with a TSJC privacy requirement and will be used to deter incidents and provide evidence when needed.
- Municipal sources expect the camera system to be installed and roughly operational in about two weeks for the Sant Joan verbena but warned that network connection problems could delay full use.
- The plan increases cleaning capacity by about 40% with 295 reinforcement staff and 26% more services, and it adds policing reinforcements including a 200‑agent summer boost, 80 beach officers, and 20 new motorcycles.
- City leaders expect stricter sanctions from a revised municipal civility ordinance and a new national multirecidivism law to complement the operational measures and reduce small crimes during high‑traffic events.
