Girofaruri galbene, bodycam și uniforme negre: ce pot și ce nu pot face patrulele stradale din Sectorul 4. De unde au mașinile care seamănă cu cele de poliție

Citizen patrols have been established in Sector 4 of Bucharest to enhance public safety during nighttime hours. These patrols, initiated by Mayor Daniel Băluță, consist of 21 employees who patrol from 6 PM to 6 AM. They wear black uniforms and drive vehicles marked with "Street Patrol" signs. The patrols aim to address community concerns, such as noise and drug-related issues, by engaging with residents and reporting problems to local authorities. Although they lack police powers, their presence is intended to deter illegal activities. The initiative arose from complaints about drug use and public disturbances in the area, and the local police force is currently understaffed. The patrols will expand to cover more neighborhoods in the future.
