The same service is also performed by personnel of Police Precincts, whose first-response vehicles work alongside and under the same provincial dispatch office that resides in the Questura, making them all identical.
All patrol vehicles used by this division are specifically equipped for this kind of response, including reinforcing plates in the bodywork, especially in the doors, bulletproof and shatterproof windows and the iconic prisoner transport partition behind the first row of seats.
The mobile units are the public face of the State Police because their crews are in direct contact with citizens.
In medium and large cities, each patrol is assigned a beat, or a specific and precise area route to be covered.
The officers of the Mobile Division know their beat and the people who usually frequent it, carefully observe their surroundings, and work to prevent crime.
