May 19 from 2023 - 22: 37

In an outstanding display of courage and professionalism, an agent of the Dénia Local Police jumped into the sea to rescue a bather who was trapped on a rock due to adverse sea conditions. The incident occurred this afternoon on the beach of Les Rotes, marking one of the first events of this summer season.

After receiving the notice from 112, after 17:30 p.m., the agent was the first to arrive at the scene and did not hesitate to face the waves and enter the sea to carry out the rescue. In the notice, she warned of the presence of two women trapped in a rock breakwater and who could not get out of the water. However, one of the bathers had managed to reach the ground by her own foot when the emergency services came, leaving only a woman among the rocks.

Although the firefighters also went to the scene, it was the agent's quick action that ensured the safety of the bather in danger. Both bathers were treated on site by Basic Life Support, as they had minor injuries, scratches and bruises. Both women were in Dénia on vacation.

The Mayor of Dénia, Vicent Grimalt, has not been slow to express his pride and recognition on social networks, highlighting the professionalism and dedication of the agent as an example for the entire body of the Local Police. "From here I want to congratulate Claudia, one more example of the great professionalism and dedication of our Local Police force," Grimalt declared in a post on his official Facebook page.
