In late October 2026, police and religious leaders in Ancona and Senigallia held events to address officer safety and psychological dynamics following violent unrest in Bologna. During these visits, officials expressed solidarity with officers injured during those demonstrations and emphasized the need to maintain public order.

On November 1, a new incident occurred at the Ancona police headquarters, where a 26-year-old female officer was critically injured by a gunshot. The officer sustained abdominal wounds and underwent emergency surgery. While authorities are investigating, preliminary reports suggest the shooting may have been accidental, as a handgun was found near the officer.
