Nago-Torbole Implements Private Security Patrols for Beach Safety

RIVA, Thursday, July 13, 2000, S. Enrico. In Torbole an agreement between the municipality and private operators for beach safety has been reached. More peaceful nights with security guards. r.s.

NAGO-TORBOLE. The primary goal is to ensure safety on the beach (as much as possible), and the second is to fairly distribute the costs among those most directly concerned with peace and quiet. That is, the Comune di Nago-Torbole, which is responsible for maintaining order and cleanliness within its territory, from the port of the historic center to the rockfall gallery towards Riva, and some owners of tourist facilities (mostly campsites).

It involves the campsites located in the territory of Arco. Everyone agrees, therefore, on establishing a private security service (which already started yesterday, until next September 24). Unfortunately, this will always be insufficient in the face of the spread of idiocy.

Three hours in total (1.5 hours covered by the Municipality and 1.5 hours covered by private operators), combining patrols and controls from 10:30 PM to 4:30 AM, which are intended (hopefully) to eliminate or just reduce the harmful effects caused by those who give free rein to base instincts.

Especially for the new beach from the Sarca to the rockfall, it was already observed last year that during nighttime hours there was an increase in loud noises, vandalism of all kinds, with evident consequences in the morning such as broken glass, scattered bottles, paper trash, as well as syringes and other debris.

This intervention is justified also because that stretch, recently completed by the Environmental Restoration Service of the Province, appears to be the most vulnerable after dark, and the entire new public asset consisting of equipment for public use and lush greenery must be protected.

In any case, it was the operators themselves who proposed a joint initiative. The service naturally also includes patrols on the other side of the Sarca. After all, from the river to the port, there is no shortage of vandals and troublemakers at large. Perhaps here, too, there is a greater presence of municipal police.
