Squadra Volante

The Reparto volanti, that dispatch the various Squadre Volanti, is a section of the Ufficio Prevenzione Generale e Soccorso Pubblico of the Italian State Police. Headed by a high ranking member of the State Police, they are present in every "Questura", the provincial office of the Public Safety Department, which is the ministerial branch Italian State Police belongs to. The same service is also performed by personnel of Police Precincts, whose first-response vehicles work alongside and under the same provincial dispatch office that resides in the Questura, making them all identical.
