(ANSA) – LA SPEZIA, MARCH 30 – Tomorrow’s Local Police agent will be increasingly technological: bodycam, drones, taser and connection with artificial intelligence for facial recognition, used by its headquarters in a video surveillance network. In La Spezia this morning the XXV National Conference of Local Police opened, which gathers over 400 professionals in the Ligurian city, with the presence of representatives of the municipal police forces of the North West regions, from Lombardy to Tuscany. “The sensitivity towards the work of the old traffic policeman has changed radically in recent years. A very coveted position, for ten agent positions there are selections that are presented in a thousand”, explains Quirino Pellegrini, events manager of the Maggioli publishing group that organizes the event and publishes preparatory texts for the competitions. Tomorrow, according to the organizers, urban agents will be less and less traffic regulators and more and more the first front against petty crime. “For the taser – explains Pellegrino – the experimentation at the State Police has started, I believe that in a short time it can reach the Local Police corps. The body cams, on the other hand, have already been cleared through customs in various cities. They have a triple functionality. : for investigations by the judicial police, as a deterrent and as a protection for the operator himself “. At the fair at SpeziaExpò from classic speed cameras to pedal assisted bicycles to move around historic centers and holiday areas, passing through the latest generation alcohol tests. “In the future, an easier exchange of information between the various commands is expected – concluded Pellegrino -, each equipped with its own video surveillance network, with data that will be available to each police force as needed”.
