OBJECTIVE

Project Poliforme has started with th initiative of Campania Region Local Police School and Turkish National Police is one of the partners among other six from five different countries. The project has implemented between 2006-2008 years and aimed to enhance community policing implementations among the partners.

The objective of the project is to define a specific aspect of the formative system in the field of urban safety and the consequent definition of the profile of know-how, competences and own abilities of the professional figures engaged in the management of the Internal Security Services on the territory with particular regard to the problems connected to situations of need, alienation, uneasiness and exploitation of some elements of the community, especially the weaker ones. It, therefore, tends to identify a formative and organizational model that is functional to the necessity of having professional figures able to resolve beforehand and with behavioral adequacy the problems attached to social exclusion and is developed on subjects in lifelong training.

The pursuit of the prefixed aims is necessarily subsequent both to a comparative examination of the training needs, within the European community, and to the individual responses adopted by each partner country in the process of putting together and qualifying personnel able to cope and deal with the problems of social discomfort which tend to be the major cause of a lack in the perception of safety which gravely undermines the quality of urban life.

The agreed and innovative significance of the project is that of having identified in the field of urban and territorial safety the importance of life-long vocational training as a winning strategy in the planning and management of the social development policies especially when such formation is turned to those who work in fields that can be defined of high social vulnerability.

The dissemination of the results obtained, also in terms of good practices, will be widely diffused within the European Community.

The introduction of the project, to which fundamental strategic valence will be given, will be articulated in successive logical and chronological phases followed by a more operational phase which will consist in the setting of the agreed procedures with the partners. Contextually, a constant monitoring system of the quality of the project activities will be implemented by means of operational forms which will help fix objective result indicators with regards to the adopted methods, the constructed hypotheses, the valence of the data gathered. Meetings with privileged witnesses will enable the necessary comparisons between legal sources and the individualization of good practices transferable to different contexts. A most decisive phase of the project will be that of a brief experimentation of the professional profile, so as to better calibrate it, on a restricted group of beneficiaries. By such means of experimentation, the real impact of the initiative is validated. The following and final phase will be that of the distribution of the professional profile which will carried out by means of web pages, video conferences and workshops.
