OPSA – Italian Red Cross Water Rescue Operators

OPSA operators provide assistance and rescue services along the entire Riviera del Conero, ensuring the safety of beachgoers through highly specialized personnel trained in first aid and the use of defibrillators, operating from rescue vessels and supported by medical staff.
The service is coordinated by the Coast Guard and carried out in cooperation with the 118 emergency medical service, ensuring rapid and effective interventions, also thanks to the use of a fully equipped inflatable boat serving as a “water ambulance,” moored at the Port of Numana and fitted with medical equipment and specific devices for the recovery of injured persons.
In addition, a dedicated helicopter landing strip is available, located directly on the beach near the port.

"Estate Tranquilla" (Calm Summer) Project

The Municipality of Numana, which in winter has about 4000 inhabitants, is fortunately still a happy island in terms of safety, both for type and number of criminal events.

Obviously, the population of Numana increases with the arrival of the tourist season, reaching 50-60 thousand units during the peak season, and this raises the security threshold considerably.

Therefore, as every summer since 1999, Numana is preparing to strengthen its services with the arrival of the tourist season in order to guarantee the safety of all citizens and tourists. Moreover, since the summer of 2010, in order to guarantee the maximum safety at sea, the Administration has decided to increase the number of soldiers of the Coast Guard.

“Estate tranquilla” enhances the presence of the police forces in the area during the summer, with a private security service operating at night, which is very important both to prevent vandalism to the detriment of the establishments and to ensure the safety of those who, on pleasant summer evenings, decide to take a night walk on the shoreline. Every day, especially for preventive purposes, beach safety is guaranteed by the daily patrols of the Municipal Police and the Coast Guard.

The aim of "Estate Tranquilla" is not only to guarantee the safety of citizens and tourists by intensifying controls and patrolling officers, but above all to work, through the study and implementation of these important preventive measures, so that the high level of legality of this area is really maintained over time, further improving the liveability and real safety, at sea and on land, without forgetting road safety.
