More than 400 units deployed for Melpignano's Final Concertone

The organizational machine of the Melpignano Final Concertone is ready to guarantee security and useful services for the spectators who will reach Melpignano (LE) for the most anticipated event of the Apulian summer.

Four hundred units including police, civil defense, firefighters and Fifa Security personnel will be deployed in total to ensure a security framework around the event. Directing the security and safety arrangements is a control room, in which an inter-force team operates at the disposal of the Police Headquarters official who directs public order services. This control room, equipped with a sophisticated video surveillance system monitors the entire event area, as well as the inflow and outflow routes, and interfaces in synergy with the Municipal Operations Center, another surveillance and coordination body in the care of the Municipality of Melpignano and which makes use of an additional video surveillance system and wider-ranging radio links. The device of girdling of the outer ring encloses within it the event area (supervised by stewards) with no. 6 posts (“gates”), manned by Police Forces and reinforced by the presence of new jerseys.

This device is supplemented by other posts (“prevarches”) manned exclusively by Local Police personnel, in the number of 50 units, supplemented by Civil Defense volunteer personnel, in the total number of 300 units.

Parking and traffic management are entrusted to Local Police units, assisted by Civil Defense volunteers.

In terms of safety, it is planned to place a “Health Camp” where more than 200 volunteers from the Italian Red Cross and the medical and nursing staff of the 118 emergency medical service will operate to deal with urgent health emergencies. The camp area will have about 25 inpatient beds and several first- and second-level care stations-.
