"I chose this splendid place in the center of the city for the celebrations," said the commissioner. "And I wanted to show in a video who we are and what we do."
Among the main tasks are the management of public order and service "to guarantee the right to demonstrate to all". Important are the preventive activities that have allowed the decrease in crime and that "have allowed Cagliari to be among the safest cities in Italy". And then the services carried out in the historic center: "Even if we arrested all the perpetrators of crimes, even minors, we would still be faced with a society with problems", added Police Chief Lavezzaro.
