The discourse of the Quaestor Ruperti
The commissioner Ruperti opened the ceremony by leaving a heartfelt welcome to the prefect, to the civil, military, religious, judiciary authorities, union representatives and citizens present, with an affectionate thought aimed at students and schools in the area.
He recalled how the State Police, born in 1852, in 173 years of history, has maintained their commitment to the citizen’s service, operating in compliance with constitutional freedoms and constantly trying to balance security and rights. The theme “always being there” was highlighted as the guiding principle of the daily activity of police operators: from the protection of weak bands, to prevention activities, up to support in times of need.
Among the results achieved, underlined the intense operational activity on the provincial territory: over 200,000 people and almost 110,000 controlled vehicles, thanks also to the use of tools such as “Street Control”. Particular attention has been paid to youth aggregation places to ensure safety and prevent episodes of violence.
The Quaestor praised the synergy between the police and local police, with the coordination entrusted to the Cabinet Office, which managed about 500 orders of public order and safety. The work of the anti -crime division is also important, which has adopted numerous prevention measures, often on the report of the territorial joints and the carabinieri.
Ample space was dedicated to the training of staff, to the enhancement of the role of the postal police in the fight against online crime and the numerous social initiatives started with schools. In particular, the commitment against any form of violence was underlined, especially gender, with awareness initiatives, such as the tribute to women on March 8, and the renewal of the Zeus protocol for the re -education of the authors of violence.
A praise has been reserved for the mobile team, remembering the daily investigative commitment, often silent but fundamental, in the fight against organized crime. The significant figure of the 45 Vibonese prisoners subjected to 41-bis out of about 700 at national level, testifies to the complexity of the territory and the effectiveness of the repressive action.
Ruperti thanked the institutions, the judiciary, the armed forces, the religious and civil authorities, and in particular the policemen in service and in retirement, in addition to the family members of the fallen of the State Police. He also addressed a special thought to the citizens of the province, underlining the strong link between the police and the territory, full of beauties and honest people who deserve legality, security and freedom.
The Quaestor concluded by reiterating that the results achieved are not a source of pride, but a heritage shared with the citizens. The police festival, he said, is the citizens’ party, because it is from them that the entire work of the State Police originates and sense.
