 ... the reinforcement of direct
contact between the general public and the forces of law and
order by the provision of an efficient community policing
service in densely populated areas.
In this environment it is considered of fundamental importance to
appoint an individual Carabiniere responsible for crime prevention,
known as the Community Carabiniere. This service, to encourage
crime prevention generally, has the primary function of building
reciprocal trust between the Community Carabiniere and members of
the public.
The Community Carabiniere replaces the traditional service of two
officers patrolling together, and brings the officer closer to the
local population, which has always been a distinguishing mark of
the Force.
The final objective of this initiative is to create a closer, more
visible, more accessible Force. This service operates from a single
base manned by one Carabiniere creating a point of contact for the
local population. The Carabiniere must communicate with members of
the public and local institutions such as the Council and local
service agencies, assisting with any problems, and at the same time
observing the local population and property.
The personnel employed full time in the service of Community
Carabiniere have an easily recognizable uniform and are equipped
with a palmtop PC and radio
set.
