The district service

The police depend on the understanding and support of citizens to carry out their duties. The greatest possible proximity to citizens is a prerequisite for effective police work. That is why the main task of district officers is to maintain and cultivate constant contact between citizens and the police. They are often the first point of contact for citizens and should be available to them as such at all times.

The duties of the district officers include traffic monitoring measures, such as school road safety. They are involved in crime prevention concepts and road safety work. The police officers provide advice to local authorities. They perform the necessary police duties at public events. Youth protection checks are just as much a part of their remit as traffic measures at public festivals.

District officers are "on patrol" in their district every day. They are the trusted contacts for citizens of all ages in all matters where the police can provide advice and assistance.
