Rome unveils Jubilee security plan

Don't succumb to hysteria says Renzi

Over 2,000 police officers are to be deployed in Rome as part of tougher security measures for the pope's upcoming Jubilee in the wake of last Friday's Islamic terrorist attacks in Paris, Rome police commissioner Nicolò D'Angelo said Friday. The new measures will come into effect on Monday, two weeks ahead of the start of the Holy Year on December 8.
    Millions of pilgrims are expected to converge on Rome during the Jubilee running until November 20, 2016.
    The security plan provides for police patrols on local buses and for Rome's video surveillance system to be beefed up. There will also be more police patrols in outlying areas of the capital to "make our presence felt," D'Angelo said. Rome will be divided into three areas of increasing security, from outlying to central districts. "All the pilgrim routes will be strengthened with additional security," he added. The police commissioner also said Rome's Olympic stadium where football matches are played is "obviously" a potential target and that security would be tightened there as well.
    D'Angelo added law enforcement has an excellent relationship with the Muslim community in the nation's capital.
    "We have a good relationship with Rome's Islamic communities, and we are always exchanging information," he said.
    "We don't have situations like those in the Paris banlieues (impoverished, outlying districts)". He added that "we have allocated additional resources for (Rome's) outlying districts - where it's easier to find lodging, including because there are a lot of cellars and garages there".
    Also on Friday, a poll showed 66% of Italians fear terror attacks during the Jubilee - up from 38% last week.
    Another 52% of respondents said they no longer feel safe from terrorist attacks in Italy and more than eight in 10 said they would give up some individual liberties in exchange for more security.
    Premier Matteo Renzi did his part to keep public morale high.
    "Those who would shut us away in our homes cannot get the better of us," he said amid a rash of bomb scares in Rome and Milan.
    "We shall not be overwhelmed by hysteria and fear".
