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.”

 

 

The use of reflective vests will be controlled every Friday

The National Road Safety Unit and the Municipality of Montevideo initiated a traffic safety campaign aimed at motorcyclists on Friday. The measures include the free delivery of reflective safety vests. It is an educational campaign whose objective to prevent accidents and reduce the number of people injured and killed in accidents.

 

As reported every Friday in May, inspectors of the commune will be controlling the use of reflective garments in different points of the capital. The campaign aims to spread the obligatory nature of these garments as established by the latest transit law that began in March this year, Unease’s secretary Pablo told the newspaper El Observatory.

 

Although fines are already applied to drivers who do not wear reflective vests on national routes, this still does not happen in Montevideo. Isthmuses explained that the fines would begin to be applied in the capital starting in July, once the maximum term established by law for the dissemination of these new requirements has expired.

 

Inspectors of the quartermaster will be distributed in various points of the city, performing the usual documentation control for motorcyclists and the like. The controls will be carried out every Friday in two shifts: between 8 and 12 o’clock and between 3 and 7 o’clock.

 

During these checks, the inspectors will inform the motorcyclists about the obligatory nature of these reflective garments, and will even facilitate access to them for those drivers who do not have it.

 

The use of this security element is mandatory for those who travel by motorcycle or similar, as stipulated in article 7 of Law 19.061. This indicates that the “permanent use during its circulation in all public roads” of vest, jacket or reflective bands. If not used, the fine amounts to about 403 pesos (0.5 resettable units) per person.

 

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.”

 

A policeman locked up for stealing five bulletproof vests

A security assistant from Nantes is in prison on suspicion of stealing sensitive materials from the police station in order to return him to a city in Nantes. This is a case that has been carefully kept secret for a good week. The police in Nantes arrested one of his families. A 26-year-old security assistant suspected of stealing five bulletproof safety vests, tear gas and even a secure radio. He was indicted and detained. In the corridors of the central police station, stupefaction is in order.

 

The story is first of one or two vests that disappear, several weeks ago, from the secure room where they are stored. It’s a room that opens with a magnetic badge. We do not enter as in a mill. If they were not lost, then it was someone from “home”.  Departmental Security investigators set a trap to confuse the unscrupulous policeman. They placed GPS tags on the remaining vests. Bingo: a vest on which was a snitch was embarked. The investigators only had to follow the digital signal. They called this colleague on August 30th.

 

This Thursday, this young man who presents himself as “fragile psychologically” has presented to the room of the instruction of Rennes a request for release. On the bottom, he recognizes the flights. He claims to have handed sensitive reflective material to a man in the Clops Thoreau district, south of Nantes. One way, defends the policeman, to avoid pressures that offenders of the city would impose on members of his family.

 

The investigation is nevertheless far from complete. Was the security assistant able to receive cocaine in exchange for his services? This is a question, raised before the investigating chamber on Thursday morning, which will have to be purged.

 

This young policeman in reflective vest has already made a lot of talk about him. Never outlawed, he has already gone to Discipline Committee. But this bodybuilding enthusiast also distinguished himself for his good and loyal services. He had participated in the rescue of a mother, savagely attacked by an unbalanced armed with a knife, in Raze, spring 2016.

 

ADAC distributes safety tests to first-graders

The Federal Statistical Office recorded 28 674 injured children on Germany’s roads during the past year, 71 of which were fatal. Whether you are traveling by car, by bike or on foot, road safety is always an important issue. “If you go to school, you have to deal with traffic,” says Jorgen Lecher, member of the board of directors for traffic, environment and technology at the ADAC Hessen-Thüringen, the first-graders at the ADAC.

 

Increase visibility

Here, the 122 students each receive a child-friendly safety jacket with hood and the silhouettes of traffic detectives Felix and Frieda, which increases the visibility of the children in traffic through reflectors and the signal color neon yellow to 140 meters instead of the original 25 to 40 meters. Thus, the drivers can adjust their pace and respond in dangerous situations earlier. Since the beginning of the action five years ago, about 4.5 million safety vests were distributed in Germany to first-graders and preschoolers; in Hessen alone, this year 58,000 are at more than 1,100 schools. “Every child who is killed in traffic is one thing too much,” says Hessian Minister of Education Alexander Lora. The small ones are disadvantaged in the road traffic in many ways, for example due to their small body size and their short legs. But dark clothing also makes children often overlooked. Particularly in the dark season’s autumn and winter, eye-catching clothing is therefore essential, says Lecher. A photo is designed to illustrate the problem to the primary schoolchildren: Four of the five illustrated children wear safety vests and are very good to look at, while the fifth is barely visible. Rose-Lore Schulz, the Deputy for the Deputy for Mayor Sven Gerick, also warned the children of inattention regarding the dangers of road traffic: “You only have to think of one thing: that you will come home safely.”

 

Get to other schools

Before the children move around the row to pick up their reflective vests, they promise to wear them on a regular basis. In the coming years, more schools will be reached with the action of the ADAC Foundation “Geber Engel”, for example by means of reporting by a private television station.

 

Warning vests are designed to make the route safer

18,000 pieces are distributed in the third school week.

With the distribution of 18,000 warning vests to the schoolchildren, Upper Austrian Civil Protection and the State of Upper Austria are again contributing to the promotion of traffic safety at schools. Under the motto “Safe school path”, a comprehensive coverage of civil protection safety bags with reflective vests will take place in the third school week.

 

Motorists see children earlier

Civil Protection President NR-Ed. Michael Hammer recommends that the parents wear the warning vests to their children in the spare time, because the tins will be visible to 150 and not only to 30 meters for other traffic users. As usual, it is to be checked again in the winter months whether the warning vests are worn. Manfred Limbic and the regional councilors Gunter and Elmer were positive: 50 percent of the children were wearing the safety vests.

 

The IV Reflective Motorcycle Parade with reflective vest

On the 17th of June there will be the fourth edition of “Wien by the Night”, the IV Reflective Motorcycle Parade, everyone wear the reflective vest, which is sponsored by the One Foot Foundation.

 

“Our goal is to spread the use of reflectors. At the moment, Warsaw motorcyclists are more likely to use retro reflectors at the moment. Our action is to show that reflective safety vests improve driving safety both at night and during the day and that they fit just as well for textile and leather suits. We are confident that our actions can contribute to a measurable reduction in traffic incidents involving motorcyclists. We cordially invite all users of wheelchairs, those large and small, German, American, Japanese or Italian. Let us illuminate Warsaw with our reflections.”

 

We get together on June 17th at 5pm. 21.00 on the membranes of the National Stadium, this time. Night parade will start at. 21:30. we will go through the center of Warsaw. The ride will be finished in Warsaw, under the seat of co-organizer of this year’s action – Dealer BMW Auto.

Warsaw – Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz. Patronage was also taken over by the Warsaw City Road Administration and the aforementioned.

 

 

 

 

Overview – Reflective School in SP 5

On 30 October in the Primary School No. 5 took place a solemn summary of the contest “Reflective school“, where we invited representatives of the Police District Headquarters. Miss Katarina and Maria – Gaga reminded the students of the principles of safe driving on the roads and handed diplomas and awards to the winners of the competitions, which took place from September to October.

 

In contrast, class Imia, under the care of Mrs. Kristina, prepared a presentation with valuable advice on how to be visible on the road. Together with our younger and older colleagues we learned rhymes: “Are there any reflective vest in Locus or in Nod?”

 

Parents of students were reminded of the “Open Day” of the amended Road Traffic Law, which requires all pedestrians to use reflective elements.

“Five” Locus promoted initiatives to reduce traffic hazards through numerous competitions, and provided all students with safety vests and reflective elements.

 

Police in safety vest control abroad

The holiday season is a big step, so it is time to travel around Poland and other countries. It is important to know what safety equipment must be on board our car during police inspections. It is important to remember that the requirements in Poland and abroad are very different.

 

Both in our country and abroad, we must be supplied primarily with a fire extinguisher and a warning triangle. Importantly, both components must bear the approval mark. Without a fire extinguisher and a triangle, there is a mandate risk of 20 to 500 zł. The fire extinguisher must be positioned so that it can be used immediately if necessary. The extinguishing agent content must be not less than 1 kg.

 

In Poland there is no requirement for a first aid kit and reflective vest, but it is certainly worth having in your car, for your own safety and for others. These elements are compulsory in the vast majority of EU countries, France, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Czech Republic, Germany or Slovakia. Interestingly, in the latter vest is also required for the passenger.

 

Drivers often forget about the proper marking of the vehicle’s stoppage (during a malfunction or catching a rubber). For missing or incorrect signaling of the stoppage you have to pay a penalty of 150 zł, and on the motorways the tariff is expected to double the amount. This also applies to the marking of a towed vehicle.

 

France, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Italy, Spain and Slovakia – spare bulbs and safety vests are required in these countries. In France you also need two disposable breathers for the driver and the passenger. In Spanish we need spare glasses if we have information on mandatory use of glasses in our driving license.

 

The police will deliver reflective vests and tapes

Pedestrians and co-drivers two groups of people to whom the attention of the police in the region in these days is the same in both cases: to be better seen. Reflective vests today from 5 am to 5 pm will be handed over to the passengers on the passenger seats on the road at the entrance.

 

“In vehicles, in most cases, the reflective safety vests are only for the driver. The other participants are not, and are often at risk of life, for example, when they are in a place of a traffic accident, “explained police preventer Lucie.

 

According to her, there are tragic accidents that could often be avoided if people in dark or dark were sufficiently visible from afar. In the case of pedestrians, hand-reflexes can also be helpful.

 

“We will share with representatives of BESIP and traffic patrol pedestrians in Zinc on Street on Thursday,” said Lucie in reflective clothing.

The event takes place between 7:00 and 8:00 in the morning.
