Police and carabinieri carry out intensive checks near the Colosseum LAPRESSE

Those aspiring to become police officers could be subject to a preventive check by intelligence, aimed at verifying the candidate’s possession of the reliability requirement. This scenario is outlined, as also noted by Infodifesa, by the reading of a passage in the bill on juvenile crime and the so-called “maranza,” approved on July 23 by the Council of Ministers. The “incriminated” provision is at the end of article 19 of the text, in its most updated version. It is the passage on “provisions regarding the requirements for access to roles and examinations of the State Police.”

The passage

Paragraph 2 indeed provides that in article 3 of legislative decree May 29, 2017, no. 95, after paragraph 7-septies, the following is inserted: “7-octies. For the purpose of access, through public competition, to the qualifications of the roles and careers of the State Police, the reliability requirement referred to in article 9 of law August 3, 2007, no. 124, is required.”.

The reliability requirement

The reliability requirement is provided by the law that establishes the Information System for the Security of the Republic (law 124). Article 9 in particular provides for the Security Clearance, which is issued by the UCSe, the Central Office for Secrecy, an intelligence body incorporated within the DIS (Department of Information for Security).

The Security Clearance

The issuance of the NOS is subject to a prior verification procedure aimed at excluding from the knowledge of classified information, documents, acts or things any subject who does not give sure assurance of scrupulous loyalty to the institutions of the Republic, to the Constitution and its values, as well as rigorous respect for secrecy.

For members of the State Police (and more generally for the Law Enforcement), the “reliability requirement” coincides with exemplary conduct, the absence of obstructive elements of a criminal/disciplinary nature, and full psycho-physical and attitudinal suitability to perform delicate public security duties.
