Our crime prevention experts will show you how to protect yourself and your surroundings.

The aim of crime prevention is to nip crimes in the bud. By means of poster campaigns, information events and visible presence on the ground, the population is sensitized to possible dangers in good time and educated about them. This is not only in traffic matters, but also in the private sphere, where you yourself can become a victim.

We see ourselves as a citizen-oriented and citizen-friendly police force, in line with the motto: “The police - your friend and helper”. We contribute to your safety by taking appropriate measures. We invite you to be our partner.

Our lawyers prepare consultations (so-called co-reports) on legislative proposals and parliamentary procedural requests that relate to operational interests. In the event of administrative disputes, they represent the interests of the Government Council and the courts. The lawyers play a leading role in the drafting of police legislation and the preparation of administrative law agreements. As part of process management, the legal experts also assist in issuing and amending service regulations.

If members of the corps find themselves involved in criminal proceedings, the legal service ensures that they receive legal support. They also participate in the corps' internal basic and further training.
