The hiring of new local police officers and agents and the commitment to their training in order to best integrate them into the numerous functions carried out by the Corps up to the updating activity aimed at all staff, including training in the use of the defibrillator and, alongside these, the operational activity carried out in the neighbourhoods, on the roads, by the special units up to the voluntary activity carried out for the flooded populations of Romagna.
These are some of the aspects that most characterized the local police of Modena in 2023 that emerged during the celebration of the 164th anniversary of the foundation of the Corps.
The celebrations took place on the morning of Monday 27 May in the square in front of the headquarters, named after the first commander of the local police of Modena, Gino Montipò. After the deployment of the Corps, reviewed by the mayor of Modena and the commander, the prefect Alessandra Camporota spoke.
Civil, military and religious authorities were present, including the public prosecutor Luca Masini, the vicar Don Giuliano Gazzetti representing the Bishop, the rector of Unimore Carlo Adolfo Porro, the police commissioner Donatella Dosi, the provincial commanders of the Carabinieri Antonio Caterino, Gianluca Capecci of the Guardia di Finanza, the deputy commander of the Military Academy of Modena, Colonel Giuseppe Vecchia and representatives of the local police forces of the province, as well as of voluntary associations and groups that collaborate with the local police.
Vigilance and closeness to the city, as well as being an example and encouragement to solidarity for citizens are the key concepts that the Corps’ activity intends to express, underlined by commander Roberto Riva Cambrino, alongside the fruitful collaboration with institutions, forces of the order, local police forces in the province, voluntary associations and Neighborhood Watch groups.
A special page was dedicated, in the past year, to the service among the flooded populations of Romagna: Modena was one of the 40 Municipalities that took action and provided one twentieth of the contingent employed: 29 operators, men and women, who they are alternated in five weekly shifts on three different sites. The activity was also recognized in the usual awarding of written awards to agents who particularly distinguished themselves in the activity carried out.
