Security on New Year's Eve: Police increase presence in the Upper and Southern Palatinate
In the Rhine-Palatinate metropolitan region, there is a lot of planning going on for the upcoming New Year's Eve 2025. The Rhine-Palatinate Police Headquarters has intensified preparations and has announced an increased presence of emergency services in the Upper and Southern Palatinate. In recent years, however, the celebrations have been largely peaceful, which gives positive expectations for the coming New Year's Eve. However, the focus is on areas with large numbers of revelers to ensure everyone's safety.
As the police headquarters explained in a statement, the police will be particularly visible in the hot spots. Citizens are invited to contact officers if necessary to address any questions or concerns directly.
Traffic controls as a security measure
An important part of the security measures are increased traffic controls. “We ask the public to celebrate responsibly and to refrain from driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs,” said a police spokesman. Citizens are encouraged to follow the rules and ensure that no one is put at risk and everyone can enjoy a carefree New Year.
We also point out how to use fireworks safely on New Year's Eve. In this regard, the police headquarters refers to a press release from the LKA Rhineland-Palatinate, which provides helpful information and tips so that the celebrations can take place without incident.
Over 900,000 people in view
The Rhine-Palatinate Police Headquarters is responsible for over 900,000 people within a service area of around 2,400 square kilometers. Around 2,200 employees are on duty to ensure peace and order on New Year's Eve. The responsibility extends over the Rhine-Palatinate district, the districts of Bad Dürkheim, Germersheim, Südliche Weinstraße and several independent cities.
The good preparation of the police and the positive experiences so far strengthen confidence in a peaceful turn of the year. “We for the Palatinate” is not only the title of a film that the police released to raise awareness, but also an encouragement to all citizens to work together to ensure a harmonious celebration.
The police headquarters concludes its information with an appeal for respectful coexistence and hopes for a New Year's Eve in which everyone can celebrate safely.
The anticipation for the celebrations is increasing as the police headquarters prepare fully to ensure that this night can be celebrated safely and in the interests of everyone. Further information can be found on the websites of MRN News, and MDR available.
