The former commissioner has been investigated for fraud

Denounced by the Civil Protection for the sale of 17 high visibility vest then never arrived by Gianni.

He had arranged with the Civil Protection, in the province of Bellona: I provide the material you need and you pay me. A normal transaction that turned out to be a scam. At least a 51-year-old is well known in the Chronicles of Lucca for this indictment. This is Enrich, the former manager of the town of Lucca as well as councilor at the time of the Fazio administration, with one also spent by Lunches security manager.

Lurch is investigated for fraud because of a complaint made to the Carabineer by Adriano, president of the local Civil Defense: "The facts date back to summer 2015 - I was organizing a demonstration and I needed some vests to high visibility. Browsing the Internet, I found that offered just what I needed. Therefore, I sent an email to the address indicated and we started to exchange messages by agreeing on the number of pieces and the price. One day I received a call from this man: he explained to me that the safety vest was ready and with the writings, I had requested, but before sending them, I had to receive the payment. I trusted and told the bank to make the transfer. However, from that moment I did not know anything: the goods never arrived and the man I had talked with became untraceable either by mail or by telephone. At that point, I was fed up and went to report to the Carabineer. The file arrived on the table of the attorney of Lucca, which has now closed the investigation. The charge is fraudulent: now the prosecutor will have to decide on any request for referral to trial.

It is not the first time that Loch has been involved in judicial events: he was sentenced to 7 months for embezzlement, on charges of taking money from the coffers of the Millennium service, a federal service company for the Mercies. In 2006, however, Loch was investigated as a security manager of the City of Lucca. The Public Prosecutor opened a file registering his name in a register for a series of crimes ranging from forgery to use fraudulent, to the usurpation of functions and abuse of office connected with attitudes of abuse attributable to bullying on agents intended to other offices. In the Appeal, the former manager in reflective vest was acquitted of all charges, except for the usurpation of a title that instead was prescribed. Now this new affair enriches his file.

The Scott teams are ready to face the Titan Desert

Enrique Marcello and Francesca Groins will form the Scott-Amory men’s team for the next edition of the Titan Desert; they are a duo of young cyclists in safety vest who come to the event with great enthusiasm.

Two experts in the discipline of the marathon specialized in this type of competitions that require as much skill as good fitness and much metallization, who hope to repeat the great performance in 2015. In the female category, the Scott-Amory bets on Paula and Ramona Gabriel, two cyclists who also have a solid experience in long distance and add a couple of guarantees to this difficult challenge.

Paula is an ambassador for Scott Contest and faces her second participation in the Titan Desert, the first one within the structure of SCOTT. As for Ramona Gabriel, she is the current leader of the Spanish Open of Ultra Marathon and already knows what it is to get on the podium of the demanding desert race, as she was third in 2014. Lucas, positive and very motivated, the girls of the Scott-Amory go to the Titan Desert knowing that they face a tough challenge, in which they will have to give the best of themselves to shoot with the strongest.

Scott-Amory equipment, the top range kit for long distances

The set presented by Amory for the occasion is a top-of-the-range set with the best features. The design is inspired by a Racing style that plays with black as a base and pistachio green and white geometric motifs that give it a striking and at the same time elegant touch. On the one hand, riders will wear a B200 jersey with reflective element, with a laser cut that stands out for its Drying fabric, with a very soft feel; it fits like a second skin on the torso and ensures total breathability, especially on long distance routes. The same fabric protects against UV rays.

On the other hand, to the jersey is added the new culottes Pluto that stands out for the TM EVO pad, with double reinforcement and specially designed for long distance. Unlike other culottes, the Pluto has a lower throw and a compressive pattern that adapts in its entirety to the legs, letting the circulation flow and avoiding the concentration of fatigue. The fabric is very thin, but it provides good muscle support and weighs 30% less than a comparable knit fabric. Likewise, it has a breathable and flat elastic grid brace that adapts and holds perfectly.

The cuffs of the legs are thicker than usual, anti-scratch. The safety extra is found in the reflective fabric, giving the garment a unique and differential touch. For the first two cold stages, the team will have the windproof B3 Bike jacket, to prevent any temperature mismatch and ensure the total comfort of the members of the Scott during the race.

The local police will equip new safety vest

The police force will renews the uniforms, weapons, ammunition and acquire bulletproof safety vest. The network allows a coordinated response of the security forces to fires or attacks.

The Local Police has joined the Emergency Radio communication System of the State, Side, which facilitates coordination with security forces and other teams, such as the National Police, Civil Guard, General Directorate of Traffic, DGT, and the Military Emergency Unit, UME, among others.

The announcement was made by the mayor of Caceres at the headquarters of the local police. Since this company is responsible for the implementation and maintenance of this service, it happens throughout the national territory. Guillermo explained that Side is a digital radio communication network «of the State, which operates Telephonic and based on the tetragon standard» like that used by other European countries such as France or Switzerland, set up by the Ministry of the Interior and that covers everything the country. The network is "private, completely outside the networks for public use, a frequency band that is owned by the Ministry is used, which ensures privacy and has a total availability, virtually never falls when there are catastrophes or emergencies", added Santa in safety clothing. The network, therefore, facilitates voice and secure data communications and quality in all types of situations, because it uses a frequency band different from commercial radio networks, which in turn prevents them from being intervened by external agents.

This network facilitates "that each body functions in an independent manner, in this case the Local Police, the National Police, the Civil Guard, but allows much greater coordination in an emergency situation or lack of security," said the director of Telephonic in Extremadura, as well as facilitating the location of terminals. The Ministry of the Interior opens this network to incorporate other administrations. The municipality is the first one that has adhered to Extremadura, where the Board uses it for the 112 Emergency and Emergency Care Center and the Extremadura Health Service. For Elena Nevada, with the incorporation of the local police of Caceres into this system, "the service and the response to the citizen is improved and, therefore, to continue advancing in security".

In particular, the provision to the local police of Caceres has consisted of 51 terminals, 50 of them portable that will carry the agents, and one fixed, two units of vehicles and a Terminal Positioning System. Telephonic has been awarded the support of this service, as well as the supply of devices, the maintenance of the service and the equipment for four years. The cost of this system has been 165,000 Euros, which according to Elena Nevada, "to continue to improve the security of the city and, above all, the response capacity of our local police.” The mayor also stressed that Caceres "is the safest city in Spain and this is due not only to the media but also to the people behind this public service", in recognition of the work of the local police, although "there is no never lift your foot ».

Likewise, in the next few days the agents will be given bulletproof vests, which will be in use before the end of the year. As explained by Mateo, the council "has made a first consignment of 40,000 Euros" for its acquisition, "the goal is that between 2017 and 2018 the entire workforce, when they go out to the street to do operational services, are gifted with reflective vests. Although Caceres is one of the safest cities in Spain, Rafael Mateo believes that, at an anti-terrorist level, 4 "nobody is on the sidelines of a possible attack.”

The Mexican reflective vest that will give security to cyclists

More and more people are convinced that before the traffic of the big cities, the bicycle is an alternative transport that can help them to make less time in their journeys. However, being a cyclist in a big city is also a danger because many do not respect you.

With this premise, a group of students from the UNAM invented a reflective product to help cyclists to be more visible to the cars when they ride a bicycle. In addition, is that cyclists especially at night, not usually seeing themselves in the streets and although some people put lights on their bikes, it is not enough.

For this reason, they created the TUIBO safety vest, which comes in various colors and to which a T-shaped device is inserted, with which you can emit traffic signals in the style of cars through LED lights.

Among the signs are the directional, the intermittent, among others, for example, if you are braking, the rear lights of the vest will twinkle. TUIBO protects the control with a lining and connects it to the device in the reflective clothing via Bluetooth.

TUIBO is not yet for sale, as it is in the Kick-starter fundraiser to be able to obtain financing. The inventors need 40 thousand dollars and the minimum contribution is 79 green tickets. The approximate delivery will be in December of this year and will be sent to the whole world.

The company of the Alburtis group, has launched the road safety campaign Protect yourself behind the barrier! To make drivers aware of the danger to which they are exposed when they get off their vehicle on the highway.

At the accident level, the trend over the past three years is that pedestrians represent about 12% of fatalities due to traffic accidents, Utopists said in a statement on Tuesday. Although the risk of having an accident on the motorway is four times lower than on conventional roads, factors such as speed, traffic intensity and lack of perception of danger can cause a dangerous situation on the part of drivers who go down your vehicle on the highway.

For this reason, standing on the shoulder, putting on the reflective vest, and placing yourself behind the safety barrier are some of the tips that Utopists offers to users to ensure maximum safety.

In addition, from this month of July, the company will provide customers who are involved in a breakdown or incidence on the highway a road safety kit with necessary reflective material to increase safety and comfort in emergency situations in those cases where those that can be delivered in safe conditions.

Prohibit the movement of motorcycles with companion

The initiative aims to 'see if the motorcycle crime goes down or does not go down'

The head of the block of senators of the PJ-FPV, Miguel Pickett, presented today a bill to prohibit for two years the circulation of motorcycles with companion, in order to "see if the crime of motorcycles lowers or does not go down.”

   

The initiative was presented to the Internal Security and Drug Trafficking Commission and would begin to be debated in the coming weeks with the presence of associations and NGOs that have previously expressed their rejection. This is a modification to the National Traffic Law. In the first place, the motorcyclists wear the helmet with the number of the patent and the reflective vest that has printed, on the front and back, the domain number of the motorcycle.

   

However, the most controversial point of the initiative is the prohibition of the circulation of motorcycles or mopeds with a companion, something that would be implemented during a "two-year trial period, to see if the motorcycle crime goes down or does not go down" , according to Pickett before the commission. The bill includes the prohibition of a male escort but during the meeting on Tuesday, the senator announced that he would modify his own initiative so that the veto is of a general nature.

   

When defending his initiative, the senator remarked that the criminal modality of the so-called "motor-chorus" ends "in the best of cases with the theft and at worst with the death of the victim.” "It is forbidden to ride two on the motorcycle, they are presumed suspects, the first one is stopped, and the second one is kidnapped," said the national senator for Río Negro before the commission.

   

In this regard, aware of the controversy that the project is already generates and led a group of motorcyclists in safety vest to cut the street of entry to the Senate. "We must see if the Congress has civic courage, if you put up with this law " The head of the majority block acknowledged that the project is "a little unfriendly" and that it will have resistance from various groups, and indicated as background to this type of measures to "Colombia, where the hired killers were driving on a motorcycle."

However, the senators from their own bloc showed their concerns about the project, despite expressing that they share their concern about this type of crime. Formosan José Mayans, catamaran Dalmatia Mara, among others, indicated, "Inside the motorcycle is a daily transport" and stressed the difficulty of applying a prohibition of that type even it is for the road safety  However, the president of the Security and Drug Trafficking Commission, Sigrid Knuth, undertook to submit the project to debate.

Driver schools disseminate regulations of reflective vest

This regulation has generated several reactions, both positive and negative among the community, so we consulted some safety professionals and driving instructors about this measure.

In previous editions, we told you about the obligation as of January 1, 2016 to carry in the vehicles the reflective vest, a safety element that should be used if the driver of a vehicle must get off it in case of an emergency. Supreme Decree of the Ministry of Transport, adding the reflective vest to the other safety elements, such as the triangle, which must be worn on all motorized vehicles for emergencies. According to this new decree, the reflective vest must contain both fluorescent and retro reflective material, and must always be carried in a place on the vehicle that is accessible from inside, so that the driver gets off the vehicle with the vest on. The measure has generated various reactions, both positive and negative among the community, so we consulted some safety professionals and driving instructors about this measure.

The head of the O'Higgins Division of the IST, Jaime Morales, announced that they have already disseminated the regulations, especially with regard to the labor area. He added that the obligation to wear this safety vest begins on January 1, so in the workplace are obliged to disseminate the regulations. In relation to the response of the people, Morales indicated that in the labor issue is regulated by means of the companies, since the employer must provide the vest for an institutional vehicle, which should be yellow in the background plus the reflective haunches.

On the cost of the vest, Morales argued that it is minor in relation to the proportion that is worth a vehicle versus a reflective clothing, which should not exceed 3 thousand pesos. "I think that people will actually use it, because although the first stage will be a white march where there will be enforcement, there will be no fines. In a moment that has not defined the authority if there will be fines. For us it is fundamental as a mutuality to reduce the number of pedestrian abuses that occur in low-light hours, since the pedestrian when he gets off the car in the background is another pedestrian, "Morales said.
