The Government Delegate in the Region of Murcia, Francisco Lucas, has visited the construction site of the new Guardia Civil headquarters in Los Alcázares. The facility is expected to be completed by the end of 2026 and will allow the local force to expand to 54 officers.

Lucas said staffing levels in the town have already increased significantly in recent years. Since 2019, the number of officers has risen by 20, and the creation of the new Main Post will add a further 16 positions.

The new headquarters will be led by a lieutenant and will be based in the former Integral Centre for Tourism and Local Development on Avenida Cartagena. Lucas described the project as the result of months of work and highlighted it as a priority raised with the Director General of the Guardia Civil after his appointment.

He said the new facilities will provide more space, greater operational capacity and improved working conditions for officers, ultimately enhancing the service provided to residents. Lucas also pointed to the Government’s wider commitment to Los Alcázares, including ongoing recovery work at the La Pescadería rambla as part of the Mar Menor restoration framework.
