“Not heroes but professionals to be protected”

Rocco Morelli

“After 24 hours we find ourselves applauding our colleagues from the Flying Squad, Upg and Sp, of the Catanzaro Police Headquarters and giving our unfailing and necessary solidarity.” This is the immediate comment of Rocco Morelli, Provincial General Secretary of the FSP State Police Union of Catanzaro, after yet another episode in the regional capital where the police continue to be “Victims” carrying out their profession to protect the community.

“They are two sides of the same coin, of a job that changes and follows events. And they are not always happy events. Last night – continues Rocco Morelli – the colleagues of the Flying Squad, in the performance of their duty, were injured after a well-known criminal was chased. His colleagues were given a 30-day prognosis for their injuries. the safety of others. We don’t deliberately write “risk” because we took the risk into account the day we put on the uniform for the first time. We write about making ourselves available we are always there, we are there, but where are the other parts of the state, peripheral and central?

We don’t want orphans and widows, or even heroes. We want – concludes the Provincial General Secretary of the FSP State Police – to find someone capable of protecting us when around us we find the void in which every rule of civil life falls.”
