Key facts

• Period → 15 September-2 October 2026
• Locations → Crocifisso area and Giardini di viale Varese
• Orders → 16 orders to leave
• Reports → 4 foreign nationals referred to the judicial authorities
• Regulation → Urban Police Regulations
• DACUR → 2 reports for failure to comply with measures issued by the Police Commissioner of Como

The period between 15 September and 2 October 2026 saw the Como Local Police engaged in targeted monitoring and prevention operations in the Crocifisso area and at the Giardini di viale Varese. The officers paid particular attention to the areas identified as enhanced-protection zones, as part of the activity focused on strengthening urban security.

The selection of the locations is linked, in the Local Police's communication, to the presence of urban decay and conduct contrary to regulatory provisions. The main outcome of the activity was the issuance of 16 orders to leave, issued following violations of the provisions set out in the Urban Police Regulations and committed in the areas covered by the specific protection measures.

During the checks, four foreign nationals were also referred to the judicial authorities. This figure is indicated as a further result of the operations carried out in the areas subject to enhanced protection and adds to the orders to leave adopted for violations of the urban regulations.

The account of the operation therefore provides the tally of a series of targeted operations: territorial monitoring covered two locations identified for enhanced protection, led to removal measures and resulted in referrals to the judicial authorities. The activity was carried out by the Como Local Police as part of urban prevention and security efforts.

Operational details

How the outcomes are divided

The balance of the checks includes two types of outcomes. On one hand, there are removal orders, linked to violations of the Urban Police Regulations in the areas affected by protection measures. On the other hand, there are referrals to the judicial authority, for which the source distinguishes two different reasons.

The distinction reported by the Local Police is as follows:

The four referred individuals were of foreign nationality. Two cases were linked to violations of immigration legislation. The other two concern non-compliance with DACUR measures, an acronym for 'Divieto di Accesso alle Aree Urbane' (Ban on Access to Urban Areas), issued by the Questore of Como.

The reference to DACUR measures is therefore distinct from that relating to immigration legislation. In both cases, the Local Police communicated a referral to the judicial authority, while the removal orders derive from violations of the provisions provided by the urban regulation.

The Local Police place these results within the broader framework of urban security and territorial presence, implemented through targeted control and prevention services. The framework thus includes interventions in reinforced protection zones and the various outcomes produced during the same activity.

Key points

The checks will continue

The Como Local Police has indicated that checks in the areas under enhanced protection will also continue in the coming weeks. This continuation is included in the Local Police's urban security service planning and forms part of the broader territorial monitoring deployment introduced through targeted control and prevention activities.

The continuation concerns the areas already identified for the specific protection measures. Reference therefore remains to the Crocifisso area and the Giardini di viale Varese, the same places where officers carried out operations between 15 settembre and 2 ottobre 2026. The communication links the continuity of the action to urban security planning.

For the coming weeks, the plan described keeps control of the areas under enhanced protection at its center. The stated objective remains the strengthening of urban security in areas affected by degradation phenomena and conduct contrary to regulatory provisions. The continuation confirms the ongoing nature of the services announced by the Local Police.

The checks carried out and the outcomes already recorded will be followed by further targeted operations. The Como Local Police will continue to operate within its urban security planning, with control and prevention activities in the areas designated as under enhanced protection. Territorial monitoring remains the framework indicated for upcoming interventions.
