More security checks in metropolitan cities, including Cagliari.
The Minister of the Interior Matteo Piantedosi met yesterday evening, by videoconference, with the mayors, prefects and quaestors of the metropolitan cities of Cagliari, precisely, but also Bari, Bologna, Catania, Florence, Genoa, Messina, Palermo, Reggio Calabria, Turin and Venice.
The owner of the Viminale - reads a note - has announced his intention to extend to all the metropolitan cities of the country the initiatives already started last January in Rome, Naples and Milan to improve safety in urban areas.
In particular, it concerns the operating model already tested in the three main metropolitan realities for the intensification - under the direction of the Department of Public Security - of extraordinary operations, so-called "high impact" , carried out with the use of Police personnel of State, the Arma dei Carabinieri and the Guardia di Finanza and with the collaboration of the local police and other interested administrations.
Operations that will be implemented "also in the other metropolitan cities following the sharing of their planning with the mayors in the provincial committee for public order and safety. This in order to ensure greater security in the territories, ensuring a greater and visible presence of the police forces and offering a more effective response to the need for protection in areas where the perception of insecurity is widespread".
The implementation of these activities «will be supported by the dedicated use of the resources of the Urban Security Fund. In this regard, the Viminale is already working for a distribution of these resources capable of supporting the projects developed by the municipalities to strengthen urban security. The table already activated at the Ministry of the Interior for the reform of the consolidated text on the organization of local authorities will also be the forum in which the proposals for regulatory intervention formulated by the metropolitan cities will be evaluated to make the actions to protect the safety of the community more effective ».
