He is currently newsworthy due to the recent actions and initiatives undertaken by the Local Police under his purview. Specifically, a new specialized unit of the Local Police, which patrols on scooters, has been actively enforcing regulations related to the use of bicycles and scooters on the city's extensive network of bike lanes. In just one month, this unit has processed approximately 300 complaints. Additionally, the city experienced a significant increase (351%) in complaints related to pyrotechnic material during the recent Fallas festival, a period overseen by Carbonell's department.
