The GNR and PSP target speeding from 13 to 19 October under the ANSR's Viaje sem Pressa campaign. Here is what the Highway Code charges for going over the limit, and why staying under it is not always enough.
The signed contracts give 1,000 stun devices to the GNR and 568 to the PSP, at 2,748 euros each, from the Lisbon supplier Antero Lopes. They should reach the two forces by about the end of the year.
The GNR registered 193 scams by people posing as police or inspectors between January 2024 and May 2026, 48 of them this year. Most callers claimed to be from the ASAE or the PJ, and many faked the real number of a police station. Here are the three scripts, the GNR's advice and how to report.
The GNR logged 797 reports involving young people aged up to 16 in the first half. Street robberies halved, while cases of private lives exposed online rose from five to 13.
Between Wednesday and Saturday the GNR arrested ten men at Tavira and Fuzeta, found about 1.5 million doses of cocaine in Loulé and seized some 7,350 litres of petrol at Tavira, Albufeira and Aljezur.
The PSP's largest union, joined by GNR officers, opens a cycle of protests in seven cities, demanding pre-retirement, better pay and the rest of the 2024 agreement. Careers and working time are on Tuesday's agenda.
The GNR's nature protection service counts 982 abandonments and 1,668 cases of death or mistreatment, rescued more than 7,500 animals and asks the public to keep reporting neglect.
