With the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding with the Municipality of Pinarolo Po, the number of municipal administrations in the province that are added rises to 50 a concrete contribution to the security framework that the Prefect of Pavia is progressively implementing in the area. Stimulation of citizens’ participation and awareness regarding urban security, through collaboration and structured interlocution with the police forces for the prevention of criminal phenomena, promoting mutual attention and social neighborhood and enhancing, with appropriate methods, the reports from the community which allow the expansion of traditional lines of intervention to protect order and security, thanks to a pool of valuable information regarding presences or situations liable to disturb orderly civil life or create insecurity and illegality.
The implementation of the Protocol, coordinated by the Control Room established in the Prefecture, made possible by the widespread presence of the Carabinieri, will make it possible to further strengthen the model of inter-institutional collaboration of reporting and civic communication between citizens and the Police Force, developing greater awareness of the importance of active citizenship to prevent and combat anti-social behaviour, which has negative repercussions on urban decorum and safety, said the Prefect of Pavia on the sidelines of the meeting.
