(ANSA) – ROME, NOV 17 – Carpet checks by the police in Rome‘s metro stations. More than 450 people checked, four arrested and two reported in the last week during the activities of the ‘underground police’. Dedicated patrols patrolled the major tourist stops (Ottaviano, Spagna, Barberini, Repubblica, Termini, Colosseum, Circo Massimo and Piramide) on a daily basis with thorough checks along the platforms and on board the trains. The services put in place – already planned for the next few weeks – are part of the strategy planned by the Rome Police Headquarters, in view of the upcoming Jubilee, which aims to increase the presence not only in the areas of the historic center that will be affected by the Jubilee events , but also along the peripheral arteries of the city, where extraordinary territorial control services have already been launched on a daily basis in various neighborhoods for weeks. An activity that saw more than 150 men in the field including operators from the General Prevention and Public Rescue Office and the police stations of the areas of respective territorial jurisdiction. A thirty-four-year-old of Romanian origins ended up in handcuffs, on whom a prison order for theft issued a few days earlier by the Court of Rome was pending. Another arrest was made along the A metro platform at the Barberini stop, where the police were attracted by the shouts of two people who were pointing them in the direction of escape of a group of five girls who, shortly before, had attempted to steal their wallets. Three women aged 25, 32 and 22, all of Bosnian origins, were stopped shortly afterwards. (HANDLE).

What specific training or resources are being provided to police officers in Rome to prepare them for the increased responsibilities during the Jubilee, and how will this impact their interactions with the public?
Welcome to our interview today! Our first section will focus on public safety initiatives in Rome, particularly in light of the upcoming Jubilee. We are pleased to have with us Mr. Marco Rossi, the head of the Rome Police Headquarters, and Ms. Silvia Martelli, the Mayor of Rome.

Transitioning to our next section, we’d like to discuss how the increased police presence may affect local communities and tourists alike.
Question: Mr. Rossi, how do you ensure that these measures strike a balance between protecting public safety and avoiding potential conflicts with local residents or tourists?

Our final section will address any other issues related to public safety in Rome that our guests would like to share.
