Fürstenfeldbruck gets security guard: citizens should feel safer!

in Fürstenfeldbruck is an important innovation: The main and finance committee has supported the introduction of a Bavarian security guard. This project is now to be presented to the city council for decision. The need is high, because in different urban areas, including on the Amperstrand, on the creative district area and at the S-Bahn stations, the symptoms of order disorders are increasing. This includes disturbances, vandalism and pollution. As the Kreisbote is not considered a replacement for the police, but is supposed to Convention between the population and the law enforcement officers.

The CSU parliamentary group spokesman Andreas Lohde has already emphasized the need for a higher presence in the areas concerned and relies on de-escalation through the security guard. These volunteers are selected by the police and go through a 40-hour training. The introduction of the security guard, which is initially scheduled to test, is not only supported by the CSU, but also by the free voters - despite the initial rejection. However, critical voices also come: Florian Weber from "Die Party" and Katrin Geißler from the citizens of Bruck express concerns about the effectiveness and possible negative effects of the security guard.

The role of the security guard

But what exactly is a security guard? The members wear blue uniforms, are equipped with radio devices and pepper spray, and their main task is to create a feeling of security among citizens. These volunteers have already successfully proven themselves in several neighboring communities, such as Olching and Maisach. In some cases, they were able to create order and attention through targeted speech and attention. Nevertheless, the question remains: How effective can a group of five volunteers act in a settlement area with 40,000 people? The Süddeutsche asks the challenges associated with the implementation.

In addition, the discussions about the security guard also think about alternative solutions such as the use of street workers. However, there are difficulties in looking for personnel here. Hermine Kusch from the citizens for Bruck proposed to fix the security guard for two years to see how well the concept works. The 2nd Mayor Christian Stangl from the Greens emphasized how important it was to strengthen the feeling of security of the citizens.

show presence and create trust

The security guard also has special powers that range from surveys to identity assessments to the granting of references. With these measures, vandalism and regulatory disorders are to be countered preventively. According to the information of the Bavarian police , almost 1,000 people are currently involved in 122 security-wasting in Bavaria. These citizens have been doing volunteer work for the police for over 24 years and are crucial for improving the feeling of security in society.

The Fürstenfeldbruck City Council will deal with this matter in the next meeting. The recommendations of the committee in favor of the security guard with 10: 5 votes suggest that you want to take serious steps towards a safer environment in the city. Whatever the final decision, the discussion about security and community is in full swing.
