Science and passion, the Scientific is told to children

Science and passion, specialization and human factor, from which not even the most sophisticated technology can prescind. The Scientific Police celebrates the first day dedicated to schools with a series of appointments throughout Italy and a meeting in Rome with the head of the police Franco Gabrielli and with the director of the central crime management Francesco Messina. "What you see today - Gabrielli explained to the boys - is not a spot or a recent conquest, but the result of a work that comes from afar, which has characterized the life of the country and which has had the contribution of many characters who they made the Scientific Police great. " Three, he says, are the keywords that summarize the specialty: "competence, passion and humanity". The same that apply to the whole body. "The police I love - Gabrielli underlines - is not the muscular and self-referential one but the one capable of intercepting people's needs and needs".

The objective of the meeting - organized as part of a communication and training program on safety, scientific culture and legality funded by the Lazio Region and by a European project on the enhancement of the Italian ballistics network - is to send young people a message that combine scientific culture with the concepts of legality and security. The continuous search for the truth that contributes to realizing an ideal of justice to which the new generations must strive, underlines the Department, is possible through the unfailing union between science and the human factor. "Bringing them closer to the reality that we live every day - said Messina - can make their civic sense grow in these children". Manuel Bortuzzo was also present at the Palazzo dei Congressi in Rome, the young swimmer who was paralyzed after being shot by a gun. "In my case the importance of science is evident - he said - because in very little thanks to ballistics I was able to trace my attackers. And always thanks to ballistics I knew that the fragments of the bullet would not cause damage, I was able to do MRI and knowing it's not all lost. "
