CHEGA criticizes Regional Command of PSP for suspension of the Accident Brigade

dnoticias.pt15 September 2026 at 08:42

The CHEGA party criticized the Regional Command of the PSP in Madeira for the suspension of the Accident Brigade until the end of September. The matter was raised by deputy Francisco Gomes, who considered the decision a situation of "damaging management" on the part of the Regional Command.

The suspension of the brigade is due to the lack of personnel and a reorganization determined by the Regional Command. According to the information provided to the deputy, the brigade will no longer function autonomously.

With the reorganization, the Accident Brigade will be under the operational dependence of the 1st Police Station. This means that its intervention will be conditioned to the needs of this police station, significantly changing the way the service was previously provided.

Why this matters

Readers in the Madeira region face possible consequences in the response to road accidents, with the specialized brigade being conditioned to the needs of the 1st Police Station. This reorganization raises concerns about public safety in the region, especially during the suspension period until the end of September. CHEGA's criticism suggests a political conflict around police management in the autonomous region.
