 In early 2008, 2,500 agents, distributed in 102 locations in the Greater Madrid area that have a local police force, were members of these units.Unlike the Ertzaintza or the Mossos d'Esquadra, BESCAM is not a full-blown police corps but a series of manpower and equipment contingents assigned to the already existing local police forces.Nonetheless, BESCAM contingents have different uniforms, and their vehicles have different livery to their local forces.
