Local police not only penalize minors making or carrying drugs but also give notice to their parents so that this issue is addressed in the family and thus give a solution.
The Department of Safety and Human Resources, particularly sensitive to contribute to the health, safety and integrity of minors, considered necessary to address this reality not only applying the sanction (in compliance with current regulations, as is required), but adding another line of action that could contribute to its resolution.
Thus, the local police will initiate contacts with parents of young offenders, so that in each household will receive a letter signed by the Security council informing them of the relevant circumstances that may be of interest to that under the exercise of parental rights due to them, they can make decisions more accurate to consider, if necessary, redirect the behavior of their children less appropriate.
The text of the letter include details such as where the child was, on what date and time and what substance was or consumed his son.
In addition, the Local Police intensify surveillance in the vicinity of schools and gardens in order to avoid both drug juvenile and adult near areas frequented by teenagers.

In the case of consumption tenure and those that do not constitute criminal offenses (small amounts rationally designed to own consumption), the local police makes an administrative complaint imposing a fine of 150 euros.
Furthermore, according to the Organic Law 10/1995 of November 23, Penal Code, Article 368 thereof, "those who carry out acts of cultivation, processing or trafficking, or otherwise promote, encourage or facilitate the illicit use of toxic drugs, narcotics or psychotropic substances, or possess with those purposes, shall be punished with imprisonment of three to six years and a fine of three times the value of the drug object of the offense if the case of substances or products causing serious harm to health, and imprisonment of one to three years and a fine of up to double in the other cases. "
In these cases we proceed to the arrest of those deemed responsible for such illegal activities.
Over the past year were arrested for this cause 6 people.
