MALLORCA TODAY - Tourist police numbers down in 2011

The number of tourist police in the Balearics this coming summer will be reduced by 20 - to 277 in total. The reason is of course cost, the individual town halls having to cover 25% of salaries. While some towns have managed to keep the same level of police officers as last season, one, Muro, will not have any. Alcúdia will have ten, and Pollensa eight.
