Urban police on the street until one in the morning. The first response from the municipal administration of Battipaglia to the security alarm that has been animating the city debate for months is in the project drawn up by the general Fausto Ciriaco Troisicommander, for a few more hours, of the municipal police, who was approved by the council led by the mayor Cecilia French. On the plate there are little more than 22mila euro: this is a portion of the money paid into the municipal coffers by violators of the rules of Traffic Laws who were fined by the Battipaglia white helmets. They will serve as «motivation» (a term used by the general himself in his report, eight pages long) for the agents of good will who will come forward to take part in the extraordinary activities planned through the Security Project.
The compensation
For every single initiative of those planned, the women and men of Command of Via Rosa Jemma they will be remunerated with a fee of 120 europayable only upon the outcome of a report, signed by superiors, which demonstrates the achievement of the set objectives. Incentives that will be recognized until the allocated funds run out, presumably by the end of February 2025.

Membership is on a voluntary basis. The shift will start at 8.30pm and end at 1am.

Guest 1: My name is Maria, and I am a member of the local community council. We have been actively involved in discussing the security concerns raised by residents and working with the municipal administration to find solutions.
