New police station on Duisburger Straße: Citizens are thrilled!
There is currently a positive wind in Oberhausen: the new station on Duisburger Straße is well received by the population. This is shown by the positive conclusion of the Oberhausen police Lokalklick.eu reported. After almost 100 years at Friedensplatz, the police have responded to modern requirements and changed their location. The move was carefully planned and was seen as an important step towards the new building. The new premises not only offer accessibility and better parking options, but are also equipped with modern security technology and ensure controlled access to strengthen the safety of citizens.
On September 5, members of the police advisory board visited the station and praised the efforts to increase security in Oberhausen. Mr. Rubin, Chairman of the Police Advisory Board, particularly thanked the members of the previous legislative session who supported this progress. The police advisory board has the important function of acting as a link between citizens, the city administration and the police.
Expanded police presence and mobile guards
In order to further increase the feeling of security in Oberhausen, the mobile guard was also used more intensively. This has existed for seven years and regularly covers the weekly markets, the main train station and other central locations. How presseportal.de According to reports, the mobile guard will now be increasingly deployed on Zaporizhia Square, with an increased focus on the adjacent commercial streets. The team is available to residents as a contact person to intensify the exchange and report incidents quickly.
Despite efforts to provide a better sense of security, there is also evidence that increased police presence does not necessarily lead to an increased sense of security. An experiment in Kassel, carried out by scientists from the University of Giessen, has shown that increased police presence does not always have the desired effects. How hessenschau.de reported, many citizens were even surprised by the results, which showed that an increased police presence is sometimes perceived as intimidating and can therefore have the opposite effect of what is intended.
The police in Oberhausen continue to rely on commitment and commitment to strengthen the feeling of security in the city. The goal remains unmistakable: citizens should feel safe while security strategies are continuously adapted.
