With vigor and dedication defend the rights of others, protect the weakest against every subtle violence. Your work will be full of responsibility and will go well beyond police duties: it will in fact be reassurance, assistance, relief and support for the populations who always look to the Carabiniere with loving trust. It will certainly not be easy but the reward for your high mission will be the gratitude of the citizens who will find in you the unparalleled feeling of humanity that has always been the heritage of the Force. Only this will warm your heart”.

Il Gen. CA Salvatore Luongo he then concluded with a meaningful message addressed to the young Carabinieri: “Service awaits you at our precious Stations, doors of hope, soul of the Force and beacon of light in the national security system.

In all of you, in your spirit of change, in your creativity, in your ability to positively contaminate the community, I place my personal utmost trust”.
