On 18th March 2026, a meeting of the Local Council on Public Safety (LCPS) was held in the Municipality of Vau Dejes, with the participation of representatives of the Local Police Directorate, Education, Civil Emergencies, Health, Food Authority, Protected Areas, structures for the protection of children and victims of violence, as well as staff of the organization “Woman to Woman”. The purpose of the meeting was to review the results of the Local Safety Measurement System (LSMS), discuss the identified problems and increase inter-institutional cooperation to improve community safety.
The LSMS results identified the main concerns of the presence of people under the influence of alcohol in public spaces and citizens’ fear for their property, indicating a high perception of insecurity. Participants discussed these data, emphasizing the importance of citizens’ perceptions and the need for further analysis and comparison with official statistics.
It was decided that further steps would include detailed analysis of the results, development of concrete plans to address security issues, and active community involvement in decision-making. This activity was considered an important step, as it marked the first functional meeting of the LCPS in the Municipality of Vau Dejes after its official establishment in December 2025, laying the foundations for a structured and sustainable cooperation between local actors.
