It is worth taking care of other safety items

On Saturday, April 28, the long May weekend began, it was a period of increased work for the police officers. Many people will use upcoming days for family trips and leisure outside of their place of residence. When driving, always obey traffic regulations and never get behind the wheel after drinking. Road safety depends primarily on the drivers themselves, which is why police officers are already calling for prudence. Police actions will be adequate to the existing threats, but on the other hand, they will be primarily directed at providing far-reaching assistance to all road users in safely reaching their destination.

 

Police officers will look after the safety of all road users – drivers and pedestrians. Numerous police inspections that will be carried out on Polish roads have one main goal – that all motorists who go on a “picnic” will come back from it with only positive impressions – safely, whole and healthy.

 

If you are planning a car trip, let us check its technical condition, lighting settings and equipment beforehand. Mandatory in the car should be a fire extinguisher and a warning triangle with homologations, but it is also worth taking care of other items, such as a first-aid kit or a reflective vest.

 

We remind you that at any time we can check the sobriety in every Police unit. Due to the increased traffic on the roads, it is worth getting ready earlier and thinking about alternative roads. Thanks to this, in the case of obstructions on the road, caused by construction or traffic incident, they will be able to go a different way.

 

Before leaving, let us also think about properly securing an apartment or house. Let’s check whether all the doors and windows (including basement and roof) have been closed. Let us also remember about securing the garage and utility rooms and closing the valves with water and gas. Let us consider whether cash and jewelry during our trip will not be safer on your account or in a bank deposit box than at home.

 

Let us ask a trusted person to look after the apartment during our absence, leaving her with a telephone number where she can contact us at any time. During a longer absence, it is worth ensuring that more mail is not stored in our mailbox, which is a signal to the potential thief that the flat or house is empty. Timers are a good solution, thanks to which, at different times of the day, the light turns on in the apartment, which creates the appearance of the presence of household members.

 

During meetings with friends in the open air, remember that according to Polish law, it is forbidden to drink alcohol in public places, such as streets, squares, and parks, unless there are places designated for its consumption, such as restaurant gardens. We should take extra care to avoid unplanned bathing, which at the current water temperature can be very dangerous. Let us pay attention especially to children playing on the shore. Sailing on a boat, canoe, water bicycle or a sailboat, let us check their technical condition; make sure that the unit is equipped with an efficient life-saving equipment such as a wheel and life jackets. Before leaving, let us inform your relatives about the expected time of return.

 

During the long May weekend, police officers in safety clothing will be watching over our security, but safe rest depends largely on ourselves. In a world that reigns with constant stress, haste and excess of both domestic and professional duties, let us slow down a little, and certainly with our families we will reach the goal whole and healthy.

The hunter deceased by a shot is a neighbor of Vandal

The author of the shot that has ended the life of the hunter would be from the parish.

 

It seems that the person killed by the accidental firing of a companion while hunting was Angel. A neighbor of Vandal who at the time of the events, was wearing the reflective safety vest. On the other hand, the author of the shot would be neighbor of the parish.

 

Because of this fact, and as a sign of mourning, the presentation of the living crib of Maia Castellan, which was to take place this Tuesday, December 26, has been suspended.

 

Upon receipt of the notice, the Generalist Fire Brigade has mobilized a terrestrial supply of Hospitalet Park and the GRAE helicopter (Group of Special Actions). The latter has been activated because it is an area of difficult access, which could have been difficult to help police in safety clothing to rescue the lifeless body of the victim.

They judge a driver without safety vest cause the accident

The Malaga Prosecutor’s Office initially requested in its provisional findings, to which Europe Press had access, that the accused should be sentenced to four years’ imprisonment. According to the public accusation, the defendant without wear any safety clothing, and had used cocaine and, in addition, caused injuries to the driver of the crane.

 

The events took place in August 2015. According to the initial indictment, the defendant was traveling with his vehicle on the A-7 towards Barcelona, in a four-lane section with a single direction, with the speed limited to 100 kilometers.

 

The Public Prosecutor’s Office maintains that the accused had his psychophysical faculties altered by the previous intake of cocaine, which caused him not to see that the victim’s vehicle, which was wearing the reflective vest and had placed the signaling triangles. In addition, there was also the crane with emergency lights.

 

At that time, the defendant according to the prosecutor, “did not make any evasive maneuvers,” colliding against the left front door of the crane and against the owner of the damaged car, which was heading towards it. This caused him “multiple and very serious injuries that caused his death.” The driver of the crane was also injured because of the collision and suffered a cervical sprain and post-traumatic disorder that has required treatment, taking more than 100 days to heal, as indicated in the provisional conclusions of this accusation.

 

For the prosecutor, it is initially a crime of reckless homicide in competition with another of imprudent injuries and a crime against road safety, requesting, in addition to four years in prison, the withdrawal of the card for six years and loss of validity. In addition, 3,349 Euros of compensation are initially requested for the driver of the crane and it is indicated that the relatives of the deceased have already received 123,000 Euros delivered by the insurer.

Recommendations for safe travel during Easter

To travel safely in this Holy Week, the Touring and Automobile Club Paraguay provides a series of recommendations to the public. It is always advisable to check the condition of the vehicle, (maintenance, calibration of the wheels, and condition of the lights), make sure that all the passengers wear the safety reflective belt, turn on the low lights always, keep the distance between the vehicles and announce the maneuvers.

 

It is also recommended to travel by day, do not carry loose pets in the vehicle, stop every two hours or 200 km on long trips; not to program the GPS, to smoke, to manipulate the radio, to use the cell phone and to take mate or terrene while driving. Never carry a child in your arms, or share a seatbelt. Children should travel in their chair corresponding to their age, height, weight and level of development, always in the back seat with safety clothing.

 

The necessary documents to circulate are the driver’s license corresponding to the type of vehicle, identity card, identification card of the vehicle, insurance policy (green card for border crossing of light vehicles up to 5 passengers), municipal authorization per day, and the vehicle must have the visible license plates visible in the corresponding place.

 

The obligatory elements to carry in the vehicle are the fire extinguisher (well fastened) with current load control and within reach of the driver, two portable beacons, well-calibrated spare wheel, adjustment key, hydraulic jack or clique. It is also recommended to bring a first aid kit, reflective vest (mandatory for travelers to Argentina, for use in case of damage on public roads).

Police in safety vest said the driver would not lose his penalties

In June 2018, regulations will become effective, thanks to which, after obtaining 24 penalty points, the police in reflective vest will not take their driving license right away.

 

In the case of committing a traffic offense, the police officer not only lists the ticket, but also imposes an appropriate number of penalty points. The driving license will lose drivers who exceed the 24-point limit, and its recovery is possible only after re-checking qualifications in all categories. If the driver has a driving license for less than a year, the point limit is 20.

 

Currently, people who have penalties on their account can take training at their own cost to reduce their number. This does not apply only to drivers within one year from the date of issuing a driving license for the first time. In this way, you can reduce the account by six points, and such training can take place no more than once every six months. The training organized by the Road Traffic Center is PLN 300.

 

From June 4, 2018, when changes are due to take effect, after exceeding 24 penalty points, the driver will not automatically lose his rights. He will be directed to a special training, but if he does not take part in it within one month of the delivery of the administrative decision, then he will say goodbye to the driving license.

 

The training is to last, a total of 28 hours, and the driver must reserve four days for it. The cost is PLN 500, and after its completion, the account with penalty points will be zeroed. Participants will be acquainted with the theory and will be subjected to psychological research. You need to know that you cannot pass more than 6 weeks from referral to the course to recover the document. After completing the course, you will not be able to take part in it for the next five years. If the driver again exceeds the 24-point limit, he will lose his license. He will have to go to the course and pass the exam.

 

After the changes, the police officer in safety clothing will be able to punish the driver with a maximum of 10 penalty points, regardless of the number of offenses committed.

 

North-wave safety clothing insulates you from the elements

When the crudest autumn arrives and the mercury begins to descend, each cyclist is questioned before his closet how many layers to wear and safety clothing before leaving to face a new training day on a bicycle.

 

The protection against cold, water and wind is necessary but, at the same time, wearing clothes that are too thick or that do not transpire can bother us on our way out. With the North wave Extreme H2O jacket, you can find the compromise between protections, breathability and fit to enjoy what you like the most despite the cold, wind, rain or whatever put in front. The Extreme H2O jacket can be found in two versions with the same technical and construction characteristics but one with long sleeves for temperatures between 5 and 15 degrees and another with short sleeves for use between 8 and 18 degrees.

 

To ensure not only protection but also an aerodynamic fit, the Extreme H2O is made with the H2O Flex membrane. This flexible membrane is integrated into the reflective fabric of 3 layers so that the garment fits perfectly to the body, acts as a protective shield against the inclemency (supports a water column of 10,000 mm.) In addition, allows eliminating the humidity generated by the effort physical keeping dry at all times.

 

The ergonomic concept of the jacket is taken to the extreme thanks to an aerodynamic design and a fit to the body as if it were a second skin. In this way, the cold air stays out and does not affect you in your effort. It is a jacket but it fits like a jersey, even in the area of the neck designed especially to work in race position and thus avoid any aerodynamic brake.

 

On the other hand, always thinking about visibility and safety, North-wave has inserted wide reflective bands on the sleeves and the front and back of the trunk to be seen from all angles despite low light conditions and poor visibility. To complete the good design of the garment, North-wave has arranged a longer back that protects the cyclist from splashes caused by the rear wheel when rolling on wet roads.

The local police will equip new safety vest

The police force will renews the uniforms, weapons, ammunition and acquire bulletproof safety vests. The network allows a coordinated response of the security forces to fires or attacks.

 

The Local Police has joined the Emergency Radio communication System of the State, Side, which facilitates coordination with security forces and other teams, such as the National Police, Civil Guard, General Directorate of Traffic, DGT, and the Military Emergency Unit, UME, among others.

 

The announcement was made by the mayor of Caceres at the headquarters of the local police. Since this company is responsible for the implementation and maintenance of this service, it happens throughout the national territory. Guillermo explained that Side is a digital radio communication network «of the State, which operates Telephonic and based on the tetragon standard» like that used by other European countries such as France or Switzerland, set up by the Ministry of the Interior and that covers everything the country. The network is “private, completely outside the networks for public use, a frequency band that is owned by the Ministry is used, which ensures privacy and has a total availability, virtually never falls when there are catastrophes or emergencies”, added Santa in safety clothing. The network, therefore, facilitates voice and secure data communications and quality in all types of situations, because it uses a frequency band different from commercial radio networks, which in turn prevents them from being intervened by external agents.

 

This network facilitates “that each body functions in an independent manner, in this case the Local Police, the National Police, the Civil Guard, but allows much greater coordination in an emergency situation or lack of security,” said the director of Telephonic in Extremadura, as well as facilitating the location of terminals. The Ministry of the Interior opens this network to incorporate other administrations. The municipality is the first one that has adhered to Extremadura, where the Board uses it for the 112 Emergency and Emergency Care Center and the Extremadura Health Service. For Elena Nevada, with the incorporation of the local police of Caceres into this system, “the service and the response to the citizen is improved and, therefore, to continue advancing in security”.

 

In particular, the provision to the local police of Caceres has consisted of 51 terminals, 50 of them portable that will carry the agents, and one fixed, two units of vehicles and a Terminal Positioning System. Telephonic has been awarded the support of this service, as well as the supply of devices, the maintenance of the service and the equipment for four years. The cost of this system has been 165,000 Euros, which according to Elena Nevada, “to continue to improve the security of the city and, above all, the response capacity of our local police.” The mayor also stressed that Caceres “is the safest city in Spain and this is due not only to the media but also to the people behind this public service”, in recognition of the work of the local police, although “there is no never lift your foot ».

 

Likewise, in the next few days the agents will be given bulletproof vests, which will be in use before the end of the year. As explained by Mateo, the council “has made a first consignment of 40,000 Euros” for its acquisition, “the goal is that between 2017 and 2018 the entire workforce, when they go out to the street to do operational services, are gifted with protective vests. Although Caceres is one of the safest cities in Spain, Rafael Mateo believes that, at an anti-terrorist level, 4 “nobody is on the sidelines of a possible attack.”

 

 

Don’t forget the safety equipment when walk in the sea

A boat trip is for sure a lot of fun. But between the weather, the equipment on board and the prolonged exposure to natural light, some recommendations are essential to navigate safely. Especially if you have children!

 

Before going out to sea, check carefully the schedules and coefficients of the tides as well as the weather forecasts, so as not to be surprised by the variations of the nature. Also ensure that everyone on board has a safety lifejacket that fits their size. Everyone must also leave with their sunglasses and a cap or hat to protect the eyes, the head … and thus avoid sunstroke.

 

On the side of the skin, apply sunscreen before leaving on all visible parts, even on your whole body in anticipation of a dive in the open sea. Take with you the tubes of cream for regular applications. Yes, despite appearances and feelings, the clouds let a large number of UV rays that can weaken your skin. Finally, even if the end of the holidays is approaching and your skin is already tanned, do not worry! Tanning certainly limits the occurrence of sunburn since your skin has become accustomed to sun exposure. But the risk 0 does not exist, let alone at sea on the surface of which the impression of freshness and moisture easily masks the force of the rays. A high visibility safety vest is eye catching for keeping your safety.

 

Before leaving, check that your basket will be enough to sustain everyone’s stomachs. Think of the practical and nutritious picnic formula, and plan for 1 liter of water per person if you leave for the day. Know it, to go to sea with an empty stomach exposes to seasickness! Be careful however to fatty and heavy meals. They can cause difficulties of digestion often misguided on board. In addition, do not forget the pharmacy kit with its lot of bandages, anti-nausea, mercurochrome, scissors and tweezers.

 

In the piloting department now … if you have to do little tricky maneuvers, your children will have to sit, both hands on fixed supports, buttocks well set, especially if the toddlers are light weights. In the best case, tell the young people to stay in the cockpit for maximum safety.

 

Finally, never leave a child alone on board or at the controls of the boat even they wear the safety clothing. And despite the concentration you show, always keep an eye on the actions of your toddlers. Also plan a child’s difficulty in staying in place for a long time. If it starts to get agitated, try taking a break where everyone can let off steam.

 

Police forced to use outdated bulletproof vests

Brussels some have been for more than two years and their ballistic resistance is no longer guaranteed.

 

Polemic within the Midi police zone, which covers the territories of Anderlecht, Forest and Saint-Gilles! According to our information, members of the staff of the Anti-Crime Brigade (BAC), sort of special units of the federal police but at the local level, use daily Class 4 bulletproof safety vests, the most resistant, for missions which are attributed to them. But it comes back to us that all of these bulletproof vests are out of date since last year.

 

When a vest is out of date, it means that the structure no longer guarantees the safety of the officer because of several factors including humidity. “Result: the impacts are much heavier which leads to an increased risk of bruises, bruises or fractures of police intervention,” says Alain, police advisor of the Midi area, who arrested the police college.

 

But that’s not all. The 21 staff members of BAC Midi Zone use a kit to transfer Level 2 inmates, considered dangerous. “Despite the increase in level 2 prisoner transfers that LAC staff members have been facing for several months, they have only one kit, which led them last year to borrow material from the federal police to make the transfer of detainees in the best possible security conditions for them and for the prisoners concerned who must also wear these reflective vests, “adds Alain.

 

Only here, the class 4 bulletproof vests that are in this kit are also out of date since … 2014. The parties were therefore forced to make their own makeshift repairs to make the vests operational.

 

On the side of the Midi police zone, we recognize that problems have occurred in the delivery, but that the situation is now in order. “We ordered 30 vests last year, divided between the different police services,” said Marie Verbose, spokeswoman for the area. “In addition, an order was made for 80 additional chasubles that were delivered last week and will soon be distributed to BAC staff.”

 

The Midi police zone is a candidate to be a pilot zone to equip some of its personnel with tasters, these electric impulse guns. The information was confirmed by the spokesperson for the area. An idea that had already been proposed by police advisor Alain: “This non-lethal weapon sends two electrodes that release a discharge that temporarily blocks the nervous system and briefly immobilizes the affected person to allow the police to intervene and proceed with his arrest “, commented Alain in safety clothing, police advisor in the Midi area, who arrested the college.”These tasters would prevent the police from having to use their service weapon to ensure their integrity while guaranteeing the safety of those arrested.”
