Today the mayor Paolo Truzzu, the prefect Giuseppe De Matteis and the private security institutes operating in the capital signed the Memorandum of Understanding "A Thousand Eyes on the Cities"

The Municipality explains that the vigilantes will provide "a valid contribution" to the activity of the police in terms of public safety . Specifically, they will be able to report: the presence of suspicious means of transport or people ; the escape of vehicles or people from the scene of the crime; the presence of stolen cars or motorbikes ; children or elderly people in difficulty or in a confused state ; removal from hospitals of elderly people or people undergoing Tso; the presence of obstacles on communication routes; the interruption of energy supply services; situations of urban decay and social hardship ; the reporting of any other situation "which suggests that the commission of crimes is imminent" ; finally, "information elements concerning cases involving potential economic-financial offences".
