Incontri con gli agenti di quartiere

(Meetings with neighborhood officers) The campaign of the City of Lugano Police to promote informal meetings between citizens and the officers operating in the various districts.

The strong presence in the territory is one of the strengths of the Lugano Police, which for many years has focused on neighborhood officers, who play a crucial role in ensuring public order in what, for several years now, has been considered, based on data, the safest among the ten largest Swiss cities.

This is also thanks to an approach focused on prevention and early detection of problematic situations. Since 2022, regular cycles of meetings with the population have been organized in each district to offer citizens an opportunity to get to know their neighborhood officer informally, have conversations, request information, seek advice, and ask for help. The intention is to eliminate the distance that can arise between citizens and police officers, often perceived as unapproachable or difficult to engage with, but who, in reality, are at the population's disposal.

In light of the positive results achieved so far, a new cycle of meetings was confirmed, which took place between Monday, 11 November, and Wednesday, 27 November 2024. The meetings were held outdoors, mainly in squares but also in front of schools, former municipal houses, playgrounds, and some parking lots. The officers engaged with the public for two hours, using the service vehicle as a mobile office.

The meetings were again held in Muzzano and Sorengo, as well as in the districts of Lugano. Furthermore, for the first time, Melide also participated, having become the third municipality contracted with the city police in September 2024.
