The corps is headed by the Comando, consisting of the Comandante Generale (a General), the Vice-Comandante Generale ( a Lieutenant General) and the Chief of Staff, all located in Rome. The Chief of Staff directs, coordinates and supervises all activities of the force. It directly supervises the Directors of Administration, Health, Engineering, the motor pool and the Veterinary Commission. The Carabinieri are organised on a territorial basis for law-enforcement missions. The territorial organization represents the core of the institution; it contains 80 percent of the force and is organized hierarchically in five inter-regional, 19 regional and 102 provincial commands. Outside the territorial organisation, the Specialist Mobile Unit Command Palidoro (based in Rome) controls the Mobile Unit Division, the Specialist Unit Division and the ROS. Mobile Unit The Mobile Unit Division is located in Treviso and has two brigades tasked with mass manoeuvres during emergencies, defending the nation and participating in military operations abroad. It supports public order and territorial control in urban areas, and contributes to the operations of civil authorities in terms of public safety.

  • Legislazione Ed Attualità
    LEGISLAZIONE ED ATTUALITÀ L’ordinamento amministrativo della pubblica sicurezza, dalla singolarità nazionale alla proiezione europea Valerio Perotti* Lo studio che segue, di diritto amministrativo comparato, verte sui fondamenti ordinamentali della pubblica sicurezza ed è suddiviso in due parti: nella prima, incentrata sul diritto dell'Unione Europea ed internazionale (in primis OSCE ed ONU), si cerca di desumere, dalla molteplicità spesso non sistematica né organica delle fonti, i tratti qualificanti della materia a livello sovrastatale. Nella seconda parte, invece, tali criteri vengono confrontati con le soluzioni adottate da alcuni legislatori nazionali, con particolare riguardo al caso italiano. L'oggetto di indagine, pressoché misconosciuto a livello dottrinale, è in realtà fondamentale nei modelli contemporanei dello Stato di diritto, laddove la re­ altà operativa italiana - per i più forse inaspettatamente - presenta delle deci­ sive eccellenze, indicate come esempio a livello internazionale. SOMMARIO: PARTE I - 1. Il ruolo dell’Unione Europea nelle politiche di ordine e sicurezza degli Stati membri. Il modello integrato civile/militare nelle strategie di sicurezza interna ed esterna dell’UE. Le discipline di settore degli ordinamenti ONU e NATO. A) Le innovazioni operate dal Trattato di Lisbona.

    Foreword By Dr. Karen Finkenbinder Michael Burgoyne has made a valuable contribution to stabilization. The 21st century requires a new way of thinking. U.S. experts such as David Bayley, Robert Perito, and Michael Dziedzic have discussed a security gap in post-conflict and failed states, and promoted ways to close it. The U.S. model of decentralized policing is not it. Rather, as Burgoyne notes, we must look to our partners that have Gendarmerie Type Forces (GTF) – Stability Police Forces. Though others may be able to do stability policing in the short-term, Stability Police made up of GTF are the best approach. They have extensive expertise and experience policing civilian communities (the latter lacking in military forces), often in high-crime and insecure environments. As Burgoyne rightly observes, “the military lacks expertise in policing and law enforcement which can create a counterproductive outcome when training foreign police forces. Even military police lack the community policing knowledge resident in European SPFs.” Rather than enable minimally qualified U.S. contractors or use military personnel, the United States should continue to partner with the Center of Excellence for Stability Policing Units (CoESPU) in Vicenza, Italy, an organization that includes GTF officers from many countries and develops international stability police. Similarly, the United States should support the development of the NATO Stability Police Concept that envisions military forces quickly transitioning to stability police who either replace or reinforce indigenous forces. And, the United States should support efforts by the European Gendarmerie Forces (EUROGENDFOR) to enable their deployment in support of European partners.

  • Statewatch Analysis Italy: Making Sense of the Genoa G8 Trials And
    Statewatch analysis Italy: Making sense of the Genoa G8 trials and aftermath by Yasha Maccanico. This analysis seeks to identify some of the key points for understanding the outcome of the trials involving demonstrators and police officers in relation to events during the G8 summit in Genoa in July 2001, and to investigate the implications for public order policing and the right to demonstrate. The events of 19-21 July 2001 represent a wake-up call in terms of the brutality of policing and pre- emptive criminalisation used against a mass popular and international demonstration. It resulted in the death of protester Carlo Giuliani and in thousands of people from the European Union and beyond experiencing an array of repressive measures. These measures included temporary detention in humiliating circumstances and physical violence. The two key trials of police officers concerned events at the Bolzaneto barracks, which was turned into a make-shift prison to hold protesters for the duration of the summit, and the Diaz school. The school was used as a dormitory, where a late-night police raid, justified on the basis of fabricated evidence (a Molotov cocktail brought into the school by police officers), and spurious claims (for instance “the presence of black tops”) resulted in injuries to scores of protesters, many of whom were sleeping when they were attacked. The main trial involving protesters saw 25 people (supposedly members of the so-called “black block”, or others acting in association with them) charged with offences including “destruction and looting” for carrying out violent acts in the streets of Genoa during the days of the summit.

  • European Approaches to Homeland Security and Counterterrorism
    Order Code RL33573 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web European Approaches to Homeland Security and Counterterrorism July 24, 2006 Kristin Archick, Coordinator; Carl Ek, Paul Gallis, Francis T. Miko, and Steven Woehrel Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress European Approaches to Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Summary The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States and the subsequent attacks on European countries such as the United Kingdom and Spain have prompted both sides of the Atlantic to reinvigorate their respective efforts to ensure homeland security and combat terrorism. However, U.S. and European approaches to these issues differ. While the United States has embarked on a wholesale reorganization of its domestic security and border protection institutions, European countries have largely preferred to work within their existing institutional architectures to combat terrorism and respond to other security challenges and disasters, both natural and man-made. This report examines homeland security and counterterrorist measures in six selected European countries: Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom. None of these European countries currently has a single ministry or department equivalent to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. In most of these countries, responsibility for different aspects of homeland security and counterterrorism is scattered across several ministries or different levels of government.
