The Spanish Council of Ministers has approved a significant investment of 164 million euros aimed at improving police infrastructure in the Community of Madrid. This funding is part of a broader national plan that allocates a total of 740 million euros for police infrastructure enhancements across Spain, with a completion target set for 2034.
Details of the investment
The new programme will encompass 81 projects within police stations of the National Police and barracks of the Guardia Civil in the region, with work expected to extend until 2034. The overall budget for police infrastructure has been increased to 731 million euros, with the new allocation representing a 177 per cent rise from the previous budget of 262.8 million euros, which was approved in December 2025.
Scope of the projects
The updated budget allows for a total of 302 projects, which include construction, renovation, and energy efficiency improvements for police stations and Guardia Civil barracks. Of these, 81 projects will be located in the Community of Madrid. These initiatives will be classified as 'of general interest', enabling them to bypass typical delays associated with urban planning and municipal regulations.
Specific projects in Madrid
Out of the 81 interventions planned in the region, the Secretary of State for Security will finance nine projects with an investment exceeding 34 million euros. Key projects include renovations at the Technology Security Centre, the construction of the Casa Real Police Station, and a new Guardia Civil barracks in Torrelaguna.
The General Directorate of Police will undertake 41 projects, investing over 89 million euros. Notable initiatives include the construction of new police district stations in Valdebebas and Vicálvaro, and the complete renovation of the General Directorate of Police building on Calle de la Luna.
Additionally, the General Directorate of the Guardia Civil will manage 31 projects with an investment of nearly 40 million euros, which will involve various construction and rehabilitation works across Madrid and surrounding areas.
Funding sources
The 740 million euros allocated for police infrastructure is part of the Extraordinary State Security Infrastructure Plan 2026-2034 (PLISE II), which was approved earlier this year. This brings the total funding available for police infrastructure improvements to over 1.6 billion euros, supplemented by contributions from the European Regional Development Fund and EU financial support programmes.
The Council of Ministers has also approved an administrative modification to PLISE II, allowing the Secretary of State for Security to adjust project budgets as necessary, streamlining the execution of these essential works.
