Italy has established a new department called 'Metro Police' to combat the growing crime problem in the country's metro systems. The department will be responsible for enhancing safety measures in Rome, Milan, and Naples, and will focus on combating theft and violent behavior. The move comes as a response to the increasing number of violent and theft incidents in the country's metro systems, with some stations being forced to temporarily close due to the severity of the problem. The Italian government has wasted no time in taking action, announcing the creation of the 'Metro Police' department on August 5, and committing to increasing the number of police officers in Rome, Milan, and Naples. The new department is expected to play a crucial role in enhancing the safety of passengers and commuters, and will work closely with local authorities to ensure the smooth operation of the metro systems.
