On Tuesday night, Mayor Francisco Azcué and the Minister of Security and Justice of the Province, Néstor Roncaglia, announced a series of measures aimed at strengthening security in the city, especially in the areas affected by the rising of the Uruguay River.
In this regard, the Mayor stated that these measures are part of the joint work being carried out with the Provincial Government, in this case with the Ministry of Security and Justice, and that they are intended to reinforce security in the city, particularly in the area affected by the flood, with the goal of bringing peace of mind to the residents who are currently suffering the consequences of the rising of the Uruguay River.
“Given this emergency situation, it was important to take these measures since prevention is fundamental, bringing security and peace of mind to our residents who are going through a difficult time,” affirmed Azcué, who also thanked the authorities of the Police of Entre Ríos for their support.
MORE OFFICERS, PATROL VEHICLES AND AN OPERATIONAL UNIT
For his part, the Minister of Government and Justice, Néstor Roncaglia, stated that “we must be where the people need us. I received directives from Governor Rogelio Frigerio to coordinate the security system in light of this situation, looking after their homes which they had to leave due to the flood.”
In this sense, he announced that in addition to the police personnel currently at the Concordia Departmental Headquarters, 100 officers, around 10 patrol cars, 3 boats, a jet ski, a helicopter that will remain available for the duration of the emergency, and a Mobile Operational Unit of the Police of Entre Ríos are being added.
Roncaglia indicated that these measures will not only last for the duration of the flood but also during the operation for the return of families to their homes.
Chief Commissioner Claudio González, head of the Police of Entre Ríos, referred to the operation being carried out in the city, explaining that it is being conducted not only by land but also by water and air, work that is coordinated through the Mobile Operational Unit that arrived in Concordia this Tuesday.
Finally, the Head of the Concordia Departmental Headquarters, Chief Commissioner Lic. Miguel Edgardo Retamar, indicated that so far no incidents or crimes have been recorded in the area affected by the flood.
