Emmanuel Bennati, number one of the regional section of Umbria of ArciCaccia, made some interesting statements during a meeting that was held in Perugia. According to him, the main concern of this moment is represented by the uncertain future that concerns the men and women of the Perugian Provincial Police. This strength is fundamental in the region of central Italy, as, as explained by Bennati himself, it is characterized by a campaign full of biodiversity: a campaign that is also the heritage of Umbrian citizens and of the national and international communities that visit it.
That is why greater protection would be needed, particularly with qualified supervisory measures. The reference of the president can therefore only go to the agents of the Provincial Police, who have been recognized for the "miracles" performed in preventing and suppressing environmental crimes. ArciCaccia Umbria also underlined the great commitment made in the fight against poaching, despite the few means available, a result achieved thanks to the skills and professionalism gained by the Perugian police.
The association specifically asked the institutions to collect the appeal of these workers, so that are engaged in the work they do best, in the full interest of the country and the region. On the other hand, the institutional transfer of powers from the provinces to the regions requires urgent clarifications in this regard: among other things, the functions of the State Forestry Corps are not clear either in the passage that is becoming necessary for the Carabinieri, consequently more interventions on the subject would be needed.
ArciCaccia then reaffirmed its solidarity and support for all employees who deal with the protection of rural areas in the region. What are the provincial police in concrete risk? The simplification work of the Renzi government also and above all concerns the bodies and services of the Provincial Police, given that the staff will be forced to pass into the roles of local authorities as regards the performance of municipal police functions.
The goal would be to find new employment for the agents, with a complete absorption of the staff e the absolute prohibition imposed on local authorities to recruit people with any type of contract to carry out the tasks assigned to the local police. Citizens should find it easier to understand what kind of uniform it is, but the controversy concerns precisely the activities of the Provincial Police, a body that has as its forerunner that of gamekeepers. The agents carried out tasks of control of environmental and ecological protection, first and foremost the monitoring of fishing and hunting activities, therefore we would not want to lose such a precious resource.
