Spanish term

Policía de márgenes

Spanish to English Other Construction / Civil Engineering
The text is about the benefits offered by a motorway management and information system, which allows you to access any data pertaining to a motorway.

This is one of the system's modules:
Policía de márgenes: Localización de Policía de Márgenes, líneas de dominio y elaboración de informes personalizados

The module before it refers to expropriation of land and land limits/boundaries.

I think it refers to police that monitor boundary lines to make sure they're not being encroached upon, but I don't find many hits for 'Margin Police' and 'Boundary Police' has another meaning (border control).

Reason for closing question Thank you for help with this. The client eventually asked me to use the term 'Police zones'.

Boundaries can be classified at many levels: they may be international (between countries), national (between states of a country), regional (between regions of a state), local (between localities of a region or local government area) or – as in the context of this paper – individual boundaries separating parcels of subdivided land.

Boundaries between countries and states are more commonly referred to as borders, and may be either natural (eg. seas, rivers, lakes) or artificial (eg defined by geographic lines of latitude and longitude). Borders serve political, legal and economic purposes in separation of the jurisdictions of abutting areas.
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : I think this is a possibility, but your (unattributed) reference doesn't prove anything - we know what a boundary is.
