Brigade “monitored” by the GPS: “So the interventions will be faster” – Il Messaggero Veneto

 UDINE. A few more weeks of waiting and then all of the municipal police patrols will be “monitored” by a GPS (Global positioning system) that will enable the operations center via Girardini to know in real time the position of all the agents in the service.

 

 “In this way – ensures the commander of the municipal police, Sergio Bedessi – we want to reduce waiting times for interventions. Knowing the position of the patrols will enable us to be more efficient. “

 

 The goal is ambitious. “Currently we have an average wait of about 25 minutes – explains Bedessi – but I am convinced that we can reduce them to less than 15 ‘when all the teams will have supplied the new radio.”

 

 The “revolution” technological progress is a direct result of the assignment that the City has committed to the reconstruction of the whole radio network used by the firefighters.

 

 “We had a system that was half analog and half digital – he said – and this allowed us to make the most of new technologies. Thanks to determined by the Administration were positioned 14 repeaters in addition to the existing ones and all radios will be able to take advantage of the digital channel that will allow us to know the exact location of the patrols. In this way, as soon as the operating center will receive a call, you will know in real time what is the nearest patrol. The district is not too extensive, and so I’m sure there will be significant improvements. “

 

 But the news does not end here. “Each transceiver can also read a short text message and this will help us improve the efficiency and effectiveness of,” continues Bedessi.

 

 For the same reason, as already it happens for other groups, like for example the control unit 118 operation, each intervention will be cataloged on the basis of the gravity and therefore the urgency with which to intervene.

 

 There will then code “red” for situations that have priority such as an injury accident (in which case the patrols will have to move with sirens and flashing), the code “yellow” for urgent situations but not severe (l ‘ car or motorcycle use only the flashing) and the “green” claims instead that I can wait.

 

 All “innovations” that will be introduced in a few weeks (the company is still completing the construction of several radio) and that will complete the reorganization of the municipal police that since last month has increased by eight the number of agents operating in the area on foot, by bike or public transport provided.
