Not only yesterday, a preventive security action took place in the Florence area, initiated by the Mayor of Prague 8 Ondřej Gros (ODS) with Deputy Mayor Jiří Vítek (Patrioti) and Councilor and Chairman of the Security Commission Libor Paulus (ODS). Criminal investigators from the SKPV of the District Police Directorate in Prague III took part in it. The event was attended by the mayor and chairman of the commission, Paulus, Grou himself.
“Nevertheless, on the initiative of the management of the city district and a supportive approach, the Politics of the Czech Republic will carry out a series of these events; our appeal to the capital to strengthen the number of uniformed police officers on the streets still persists. I consider the visible presence of police officers in problematic localities to be a key form of prevention and improvement of the security situation. Last but not least, the presence of uniformed law enforcement officers to a greater sense of security for our citizens, “explains Mayor Gros.
Police officers have doubled the number of their regular inspections since October this year, for example in the vicinity of Florence. Yesterday afternoon, police officers from the anti-drug department checked several dozen people. Many of them have been shown to have a varied past, and in several cases people have been detained on suspicion of drug distribution. It has been confirmed that the visible presence of police officers on the streets gives hope for the reduction of adverse events in problem areas, so the management of the city district agreed with the police that security actions will be repeated regularly.
“We are glad that the Czech Republic has come to our aid and is carrying out security actions in more frequent metro positions such as Florenc, Ládví, Kobylisy and Palmovka on a greater frequency,” added Gros.
