Operation Safe Streets

"As all European countries, Italy is a safe country. Violent crime is low, and most tourists will never be bothered by safety concerns other that petty crime. It is ranked 34th on the ranking of world's safest countries."

 

The "Safe Streets" Operation started on 4th August 2008 on the national territory, after the promulgation of the Law n. 125 of the 24th July 2008 n.92; that law authorizes "the employment of a military contingent of the Armed Forces in specific and extraordinary circumstances to prevent criminality.

This is an Iveco LMV.

 

"Iveco LMV (Light Multirole Vehicle) is a 4WD tactical vehicle developed by Iveco, and in service with several countries."

 

"The LMV uses modular armour packs to adjust its level of protection to its mission requirements. In regards to mine protection, the vehicle's ground clearance has been increased to 493 mm without increasing the overall height (less than 2 meters); it also uses suspended seats of aeronautical derivation, v-hull under body, and a collapsible sandwich structure in the floor to deflect and absorb mine blasts. Its exhaust is piped through its C-pillars, and its turbocharger is located underneath the engine to reduce its thermal signature. Mobility is helped by a run-flat system, allowing the vehicle to move even with completely deflated tires."
