Palma takes stock: Arrests made — is that enough to make beaches safer?

Answer

Do police operations in Mallorca just move crime to quieter places?

That can happen. When police focus on heavily watched areas like Playa de Palma, some offenders may shift activity to less monitored spots such as smaller coves, bus stops, or outer areas of the city. This is why Mallorca security depends not only on visible patrols, but also on prevention, coordination, and longer-term investigations.
