Andorra's Police Joins Iberviapol Ibero-American Traffic Police Network

Andorra's police force has joined Iberviapol, the new Ibero-American Network of Traffic Police, following its participation in the project's inaugural meeting last May.

The gathering took place between Madrid and the Guardia Civil's Traffic School in Mérida, organised to establish the network and advance road safety as a shared global challenge. Traffic police representatives from various Ibero-American countries met to exchange experiences and knowledge, aiming for coordinated solutions.

Andorran police received an invitation from the Guardia Civil's Traffic Unit. Sergeant Major Francesc Povedano, head of the Traffic Accident Investigation Unit and the Motorised Traffic Unit, represented the force at the event.

Iberviapol seeks to create a flexible platform for strategic coordination among police bodies dedicated to safer roads. It will facilitate the exchange of operational information and best practices, along with preventive actions. The network plans to enhance training, develop shared protocols and standards for traffic accident responses, support pilot projects, and introduce technological tools to update police work. It will also promote public awareness campaigns to cut road accidents and boost safety.

This involvement adds to Andorra's police efforts to reduce traffic incidents and improve road safety across the Principat.

Initial participating countries include Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Spain, Panama, Portugal, the Dominican Republic, and Uruguay.
