“65 new policemen at the Bat Police Headquarters and Polstrada”

«””65″” The first miracle! The new Chief of Police has kept faith with one of the promises expressed during the meeting which took place in the Andria Police Headquarters towards the end of last year (we await, however, the other miracle! – the next 50 in December), sending in the next months (almost certainly by the end of June, at most the first ten days of July) 65 new police officers, of which 56 at the Police Headquarters and 9 at the Andria Traffic Police Section. For a fair consideration, these are the so-called incoming NUMBERS (gross), we do not know, at the moment (if there ever are any) how many policemen will leave the Province to reach other offices (having requested the transfer). Only after all the movements have taken place, will we be able to draw the definitive sum corresponding to what the new increase in men in BAT will actually correspond to. What is certain is that it took more than three years to make people understand that a Police Headquarters (and I am referring to the newly created Police Headquarters in Andria) can work at full capacity, responding to all the needs of an active, generous and demanding citizenry like that of the whole the Province of Barletta-Andria-Trani, only if there are HUMAN resources.”

«Reinforcements that must be accompanied by further increases in means and (AWHOW!) places where all the Police can work in the widest operational serenity, both those who wear the “jacket” and their colleagues belonging to the Civilian Interior apparatus (of which at the moment there is no certain news of upcoming increases). A request that arose immediately, recalled by the writer and supported by the entire SAP Regional structure, by the Apulian Trade Union Manager Dr. Pulli and by the National Secretariat. I must admit that the National Secretary Paoloni has always taken into strong consideration the innumerable requests that came from the SAP BAT Secretariat, and which were punctually pleaded at the Department Offices, making people understand the uneasiness and needs that arose from our province. The only data on which it is not possible to give a correct indication concerns the detached police stations of Barletta, Trani and Canosa di Puglia. If it were to happen that one (or more) of these offices were to return to being “Managerial”, the human resources present there (called organic plant) must be revised (increased). Having said this, the breakdown by Office of the next transfers is missing from the communication of the Distribution Plan. In conclusion, if on the one hand the effort recorded by the Center is appreciable all round, it is understood that the SAP BAT will continue to keep the “bar” of attention high to guarantee the right needs that will be highlighted and which will mature from all BAT COPS”, concludes the note from the SAP BAT Provincial Secretariat, Vito Giordano.
