GNR - Territorial Subdestacamento Albufeira

A little late with this so apologies but some years ago, 2016, my father who was starting to suffer from dementia, went missing in Albufeira. We were staying in Clube Praia Doura at the time. The police were very helpful, professional and understanding. I’d give 10 stars if I could. 👍

A group of us had our passports stolen and so came to this police station to report it. It took us 2 hours to get spoken to and then another 5 hours before the report was completed. The only thing exceptional about this place is how slow and lazy the staff are. The officer gave us false information too, stating we'd be able to travel with the report he gave us and a copy of our passports. If you're looking for a police station I'd strongly recommend going elsewhere.

I call them few days as someone parking illegally within 5 meters of turning point and block my way !! They don't come to check and told me they are very busy . Some of them even drop the line if you speak English. How it is a tourism friendly country ?? !!

We feel safe because of tham

English people who have been in holidays complaint about our police...rubbish....about the lack of language...but in UK is worst...I wonder if English officers can speak Portuguese!!!!..I'm glad and happy about our Portuguese police officers....they are the best....comparing with other countries....they just do their roles...and they tried hard to give a good service to our turism...
