Odemira: ASPIG concerned with resource management at the local GNR, by CT Beja. Command does not comment.


Socio Association – Independent Professional Guard (ASPIG) issued a statement which says that the post of Odemira, “no vehicles for patrol service to the events and it is necessary to resort to other posts”. The Territorial Command Beja: (CTBeja) no comments.

BEJA- Comando GNR_800x800No document, ASPIG management, claim that “is concerned with the criteria established”, by certain Guard Commands, to “the management of scarce human and material resources (Car)”, that they have at their disposal for the fulfillment of the mission.

For example, ASPIG points out a case, referring to the Territorial Post of Odemira, Territorial Command Beja (photo of Lidador News file, do CTBeja): “There are no vehicles to run the patrol service, and, however, scaled for this purpose, including time 00 / 08hours, military patrols. However, pedestrian patrols are not allowed to remain inside the barracks and if they are aware of any occurrence, they have to resort to patrols to the auto occurrences of other territorial posts (S. Teotónio or Vila Nova de Milfontes) in order for them to “collect” them – in Odemira – and transport them to the scene”.

In the view of ASPIG, this situation must deserve careful attention from the hierarchy, for how much, sometimes, the military's “diversion” to deal with the events leaves the area - which they should patrol - devoid of any police surveillance. On the other hand, this form of resource management has, for the military, high demotivation as they are forced to remain stranded on the street at night, sometimes in adverse weather conditions.

ASPIG hopes that this situation will be, as soon as possible, resolved, because, in the opinion of ASPIG, only then will it be possible to verify the effectiveness of police surveillance and improvements in the well-being of the military..

Contacted by Lidador News (LN), this case goes up in concrete, o Comando Territorial de Beja da GNR, reported that “there are no comments on the subject”, leaving the guarantee that “population security is not at stake”, concluded.
