The Mossos d'Esquadra have selected six new commissioners for the body and four of them are women, after an internal promotion process to which 34 mayors applied.
The new commissioners are Rosa Bosch, member of the current Prefecture; Sílvia Catà, deputy chief of the metropolitan police region of Barcelona; Montserrat Estruch, deputy head of the North Metropolitan region, and Mónica Luis Godó, head of the technical general commissariat for security planning.
The other two new commissioners are Miquel Àngel García, deputy head of the superior central coordination commissioner, and Ramón Chacón, head of the general criminal investigation commissioner
The new commissioners will carry out an adaptation course between October 17 and December 2 and, once finished, they will be incorporated into their new destination.
Hand in hand with this reinforcement of the leadership, the Mossos will carry out a broader process of redistribution of organizational responsibilities. Its mission, they explain from the Interior, "to face the new security challenges in Catalonia with a more social, close, young, feminized and innovative police force".
From the Department of the Interior they emphasize that this promotion "consolidates the feminization of the body in its managerial scale". It goes from the three commissioners that there were until now to a total of seven.
The new appointments come after the disagreements between the chief commissioner of the Mossos, Josep Maria Estela, and his number two, Eduard Sallent, whose relationship has completely deteriorated over the last few months, became known.
