The Tomares Town Hall activates a security device with 25 cameras, security forces, and food controls. The novelty is the wristbands that detect drugs in drinks.

The Tomares Town Hall has presented the security device for the Tomares Fair, which this year incorporates a novelty: wristbands with dual sensors capable of detecting substances used in chemical submission. The fair will have the presence of Local Police, Civil Guard, Civil Protection, Firefighters, and Health Services 24 hours a day.

The wristbands, which will be distributed at the Punto Violeta, work by placing one or two drops of the drink on the sensor. If they come into contact with liquid ecstasy, burundanga, methamphetamines, or ketamine, they change colour. They are reusable as long as the result is negative and do not expire.

The Punto Violeta, active since 2022, will also offer cup covers to prevent intoxications. With this measure, the council aims to reinforce safe leisure spaces during the festivities.

At the same time, the Tomares Local Police, along with SEPRONA, the Civil Guard, and veterinarians from the Aljarafe health district, will carry out preventive food controls at the entrances to the venue. The aim is to ensure food safety and compliance with health regulations.

The device is completed with 25 surveillance cameras distributed throughout the fairground and with municipal cleaning services, which will work continuously to keep the venue in optimal conditions.

Residents and visitors will be able to enjoy the Fair with the peace of mind of having a coordinated operation that will also address any incidents related to health or coexistence throughout the celebration.
