Security concepts in Salzwedel: Protection for solid strengths!
After a tragic knife attack on a festival in Solingen, North Rhine-Westphalia, which led to killing three people on August 23 and injury to eight more, measures to increase security at events in Salzwedel were discussed. A 26 -year -old man from Syria is considered a suspect in this case. The city of Salzwedel responded to these worrying events. The Altmark newspaper asked both the city administration and the police which strategies could better protect in the future.
Andreas Köhler, press spokesman for the Hanseatic City of Salzwedel, referred to the legal framework that the police must comply with in the danger of danger. According to the law on public security and order of Saxony-Anhalt, in particular Paragraph 2, paragraph 1, the police have the task of preventing crimes and pursuing future offenses. This shows how important preventive law enforcement is in the current security situation.
close cohesion between the city and the police
The Salzwedel Ordinance Office works closely with the police to develop security concepts for urban festivals and large events. Organizers of such events are obliged to submit a security concept that is tailored to the specific risks and the current risk situation. This also includes the provision of a sufficient number of security forces.
The police have provided clear figures in this regard. Police commissioner Philipp Trapp reported that in 2023 17 crimes were registered in the Altmarkkreis Salzwedel, in which knives were used as a means of act. So far there have been eleven similar incidents in 2024. Most suspects are male gender and come from Germany.
In response to increased crime, police presence is viewed as an effective instrument to ward off potential dangers and prevent offenses. "Especially recently, the security concepts for events such as the European Football Championship and the Saxony-Anhalt Day have been revised in Stendal," explains Trapp. These adjustments should aim to prevent crimes.
In addition, Trapp announced that the police will carry out suspicion -independent controls at events. This happens to uncover any violations of the weapons law and collect dangerous objects. Since June 2024, foot stripes have also been carried out in order to be even present at difficult to access places and thus intensify the security situation.
