comprehensive measures directly after the incident

Last weekend, immediately after the fatal incident in Solingen, the police immediately strengthened their measures. In addition to the presence of local police forces, the riot police was also mobilized in order to promote a feeling of security among the citizens. These fast actions were triggered by an order from the North Rhine-Westphalian Ministry of the Interior, which indicated the urgency and necessity of an increased security situation.

The decision to increase police presence not only illustrates the reactionability of the authority, but also the endeavor to restore the trust of the population. Especially in times when violent crimes are in the headlines, it is essential that citizens can feel safe when they take part in public events.

The security of the citizens is top priority, and the measures that are now being implemented in Bielefeld are a direct expression of this obligation. The police are expected to carry out visible patrols at the upcoming events and encourage citizens to report to suspicious activities. This proactivity should not only ensure the feeling of security, but also strengthen.
