Safe on the way: Police increase controls in public transport against weapons!

This afternoon, a large -scale control was carried out in public transport (public transport) by Itzehoe. Police officers and emergency services from the Federal Police Inspection Flensburg checked strict weapons laws, which from October 2024 prohibit the carrying of weapons and knives in outer transport. These measures are part of the new state regulation, which has been valid in Schleswig-Holstein since December 23, 2024 and stipulates that knives must not be worn at hand.

The majority of controlled passengers showed understanding of the security measures. The police announced that they will continue to carry out controls in local and long-distance transport in order to strengthen the feeling of security of travelers.
