Professional with 20 years of experience in police training around the world.

Since 1997, working as a police officer had two sides, on the one hand working in traffic units, civil security and special intervention units, and on the other hand operating as head in the field of police technology at the School of Public Safety for Cádiz City Council (School of Public Safety). This training provides the police with technical knowledge on the use and maintenance of equipment and the means to act. Furthermore, physical, technical and psychological training acts to protect citizens efficiently.

The combination of the experience of more than 30 years of personal defense techniques with the police field as a member of the Security Forces and university studies, allowed the development of the operational police system in association with the University of Cádiz to satisfy police needs. These development needs were based on the prevention of occupational risks and the protection of citizens, even in an international context.
