The police units of the Community of Madrid are integrated into VioGén, the Comprehensive Monitoring System for Gender Violence Cases of the Ministry of Interior. The agreement, signed between the State Secretariat for Security and the Community of Madrid and published in the BOE on May 12, 2026, closes a relevant operational gap: until now, Madrid's autonomous police forces did not share real-time information with state forces within this system.
The practical result is that any active gender violence case in Madrid can be monitored in a coordinated manner by all involved forces, without information being fragmented between administrations.
What does this regulation establish?
The agreement regulates the incorporation of competent autonomous units of the Community of Madrid into the VioGén system. The central elements of the agreement are as follows:
- Real-time information exchange between state and autonomous police forces for victim risk assessment.
- Coordinated action protocols applicable to active cases in Madrid territory.
- Unified case monitoring that prevents a victim from falling off the radar of any of the involved forces due to lack of communication between administrations.
- Reduction of information gaps between the General State Administration and the Community of Madrid in managing risk situations.
VioGén is the state reference system for monitoring victims of gender violence in Spain. Its management is the responsibility of the Ministry of Interior and was already operational for state forces. This agreement extends its use to Madrid's autonomous units, which until now operated outside this shared framework.
Operational and institutional impact
This agreement does not generate direct costs for private companies. Its impact is operational and institutional, and translates into concrete changes in how police forces and victim protection units work in Madrid:
| Area | Previous situation | Situation after the agreement |
|---|---|---|
| Information exchange | No unified real-time channel between state and autonomous forces in Madrid | Shared real-time access to VioGén for all involved forces |
| Risk assessment | Possible incomplete assessment due to lack of data from other forces | Assessment based on consolidated information from all police sources |
| Action protocols | Differentiated protocols by police force | Coordinated and unified protocols for active cases in Madrid |
| Victim monitoring | Risk of gaps between administrations | Comprehensive monitoring without information gaps between State and Community of Madrid |
Who does it affect?
- Autonomous police forces of the Community of Madrid: must operate within the VioGén system and follow coordinated action protocols.
- State police forces with presence in Madrid: will receive and share information with autonomous units through the system.
- Gender violence coordination units of the Community of Madrid: responsible for implementing new protocols.
- Victims of gender violence with active cases in Madrid: benefit from more comprehensive monitoring and more accurate risk assessment.
- State Secretariat for Security: assumes technical coordination of the system with newly incorporated units.
Practical example
Before this agreement, a victim of gender violence in Madrid could be registered and monitored by a state police force in VioGén, but if the intervention corresponded to a Madrid autonomous police force, it did not have direct access to the updated risk history in the system.
After integration, when a Madrid autonomous unit receives a notice related to a victim, it can consult in real time the assessed risk level, the history of previous incidents, and the active protocols registered in VioGén by any other force. This allows intervention decisions to be made with complete information, without depending on manual communications between administrations that could cause delays or loss of critical data.
What should institutions do now?
- Identify affected autonomous units: those responsible for coordination in the Community of Madrid must determine which units are included in the scope of the agreement and must be operationally incorporated into VioGén.
- Review internal action protocols: affected units must adapt their procedures to the coordinated protocols established by the agreement, aligning them with those of state forces.
- Train personnel in VioGén use: personnel of incorporated units must receive specific training in the system to ensure correct use of real-time information exchange.
- Establish coordination channels with the State Secretariat for Security: define technical and operational contacts for system management and incident resolution.
- Verify the entry into force date: since it is not specified in the published text, affected units must confirm with the State Secretariat for Security the effective implementation schedule.
