According to Orlando Bernardo, Director of Public Security and Operations of the General Command of Police, all human and technical resources of the corporation are mobilized to ensure the tranquility of citizens, anticipating a peaceful end of the year.

In a press conference presenting Operation December 2020, which runs from December 20 to January 5, 2021, the police officer called for a "civic behavior" of citizens in order to decrease the rate of crimes at Christmas time.

The need to comply with the presidential decree on the Situation of Public Calamity, due to the covid-19, whose eighth revocation is in force, was also pointed out by the officer responsible, recalling that the decree imposes limitations on the holding of festive acts.

"In light of this decree, it is worth remembering that there will be no "New Year's Eve" parties, backyard dances and no outings to watch fireworks," he recalled.

"The organizers of parties should not request from the administrative bodies the legalization of Christmas and New Year parties because they are not authorized, are prohibited," he warned.

The decree on the Situation of Public Calamity determines only the holding of family parties with 15 people.

Among the actions to ensure security in the festive season, Orlando Bernardo reported that the national police will develop from this Tuesday "contingency actions to prevent risks and threats to public safety" in coordination with the Angolan Armed Forces (FAA).

"In addition to the FAA, these actions will also rely on the other bodies of the Ministry of Interior, based on obedience and effective compliance with the rules of the decree on the Situation of Public Calamity, as well as operational actions to prevent and combat crime and road accidents," he said.

The police also perspective at this stage to increase the search for information of operational interest, in order to "frustrate any criminal initiative, more punctually, to prevent festive motivations in public spaces.

According to Commissioner Orlando Bernardo, the corporation will increase its visibility in the focal points of greater population concentration, the usual spaces for holding parties, in order to prevent acts outside the law.

The "economic crimes and against people" are the criminal typicities that most worry the police in this Christmas season.

The police recorded 2827 different crimes during the 2019 festive season and want to lower this figure by 2020, urging citizens to "behave within the framework of the law".
