Gütersloh (FK) - The Gütersloh district police authority is equipping its security service with distance electro impulse devices (DEIG) from Tuesday afternoon (06.12.). After an intensive training phase, District Administrator Sven-Georg Adenauer handed over the first DEIGs to the Gütersloh, Versmold and Schloss Holte-Stukenbrock police stations. The stations in Rheda-Wiedenbrück and Halle (Westf.) will follow in the coming days.
