Security situation in Erding: Police take action against youth violence!
There is currently a tense approach to security problems in Erding, as police chief Sebastian Pinta reported at a hearing. He describes that there were verbal attacks on citizens in the old town underground car park and at the Green Market. The police have already launched conceptual operations to specifically combat such security disruptions. A look at the underground car park shows that there are no longer any unauthorized people there. This measure is having an impact, but the challenges have not yet been completely eliminated.
The reports from residents of a vending machine shop on Dorfener Strasse are particularly worrying. They complain about noisy young people who cause displeasure not only through their presence, but also by leaving rubbish and urinating near the shop. In the past, the relevant authorities have documented only two operations in this matter. Pinta appeals to people in the city to report incidents to the police immediately in order to improve the situation sustainably.
Security situation and case numbers
Despite these challenges, there are positive developments: security disruptions on the Green Market have decreased significantly. Between May and November 2024, police identified 517 people and issued 216 expulsions, which led to a relocation of youth gangs. A positive trend can also be seen in the overall figures: Crimes in Erding fell from 3,031 in 2023 to 2,759 in 2024. Pinta highlights the high clearance rate of the Erding police, which is almost 70% above the Bavarian average.
Working against graffiti on public buildings and walls is also a priority. Pinta describes the current series of graffiti as an unreasonable burden for students and teachers and assures that the police treat these crimes with great care, even if the perpetrator is unknown.
Juvenile crime in Germany
The discussion about criminal responsibility and the application of criminal law to children under 14 is gaining momentum. Experts are considering whether tougher sanctions in the juvenile justice system or a reduction in the age of criminal responsibility could be a way to deter, with an increasing focus on preventative measures. Prevention in the form of child and youth welfare is seen as crucial to preventing criminal lives and strengthening security in cities like Erding.
