Hagen: Police are fighting knife power with a new weapon carrier ban!

In the fight against the threatening increase in knife power, the Hagen police presented a new, shocking concept: individual weapons carrier bans for potential perpetrators! In the country, violent crimes with knives rose by alarming 42.6 %in 2023. Fortunately, the numbers in Hagen declined - from 65 to 51 acts. Nevertheless, the pressure remains high and the police react with a rigorous plan.

Police President Ursula Tomahogh emphasizes the danger that goes from knife attacks: "You can fatalize in the shortest possible time." In the event of further incidents, the police will now go on the offensive. Anyone who stands out through a knife offense can be proven with a three -year ban to prohibit the wearing of knives and other dangerous objects. In the event of an infringement, up to 500 euros will be fined or even compulsory replacement.

The police carried out a first special use on October 8, in which over 200 people were checked - not a single knife was borne by them. Operations manager Ephk Mathias Witte announces: "We will continue to take rigoros!" So Hagen remains vigilant in search of more security and against the risk of knife.
