The riot police officers who are regularly involved in operational activities, the service dog handlers with their dogs and the employees of the custody service also play an important role.
After the annual traffic accident statistics and crime statistics have been presented to the public for many years, this new press conference, which will also be held annually from now on, focused in particular on the presence concept, hotspot and focus work, the work of the district officers and, last but not least, successful video surveillance. Martin Lotz also used the example of "domestic violence" to explain the challenges that patrol teams often face, what skills are required and what can be hidden behind "an operation".
Other topics included response times and the Top 10 reasons for deployment:
- Traffic accident property damage
- Danger zone
- Traffic offenses and misdemeanor charges
- Disputes
- Disturbance of the peace
- Requests for assistance
- Investigations
- Suspicious person
- Suspicious vehicle
- Helpless person
In addition to informing media representatives at the press conference, Director Martin Lotz summarized the content in a short video for social media.
