A GEO police officer captured all the attention this Wednesday in Madrid at the central commemorative event for the bicentennial of the National Police. He had a crash landing in the Plaza de la Armería of the Royal Palace, a setback that did not go any further. The agent immediately got up, apparently without mishap, to the applause of the audience.
The image quickly went viral on social media. With the flag of Spain on the sail of the police force's parachute, the GEO member flew over the palace after jumping from a helicopter along with a colleague. He carried with him the flag of the national police given by two children to the Kings, who presided over the event.
The event was also attended by the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez; the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska; the Secretary of State for Security, Rafael Pérez; the general director of the Police, Francisco Pardo Piqueras; and representatives of delegations from countries around the world, among other authorities.
The celebration included more than 300 agents and a dynamic formation of different units. In it the King has presented the Badge of Honor of the Order of Constitutional Merit to the Police.
On January 13, the Police celebrated 200 years of history. Under the motto 'Committed to you', this bicentennial commemorates the main episodes in the history of the institution, its image before citizens, the feeling of belonging of its members and its recognition as a reference operator in public security, both at the national level. as international.
