The police show the presence: Focus on crime in Mettmann

On Friday, October 11, 2024, numerous police officers from the district police authority Mettmann carried out a focus on the “Zoom” project. The aim was to fight street crime in the cities of Velbert, Hilden and Langenfeld. The emergency services were supported by employees of the urban regulatory offices and the riot police, which reinforced the visible presence of the police in the affected areas.

In the Höferpark in Velbert, the officers focused on drug and property crime. Several people who were already in connection with such crimes were checked. In the course of these controls, amphetamines were secured and several criminal complaints were reimbursed. Youth protection controls also took place, where smoking and vaping minors were noticed, among other things. In addition, some references had to be granted to maintain order.

In Hilden, the police were able to record a success with two arrests of shoplots. Here a 41-year-old man from Egypt perfumed perfume from a drugstore. Shortly after the crime, the officers made him and raised a criminal complaint. During a later check, the police managed to arrest two Romanians who had stolen high -quality perfumes worth around 1000 euros from the same drugstore. Both women were also arrested.

The presence of the police in Langenfeld was consistently positive by the population. Citizens' talks showed that the citizens felt safer. The local police officers were supported by the forces of the transport service, which, in addition to personal controls, also carried out traffic controls. A striking incident concerned a truck that was classified as a traffic -uncertain and had numerous defects. The driver of another vehicle who changed its position when the police saw it was also pulled out of circulation because he was under the influence of drugs and had no valid driving license.

The "Zoom" project, which stands for "goal -oriented operational measures", has the goal of attracting certain quarters and districts for a limited time in the focus of police attention. The idea behind this is to effectively combat crime through targeted measures and missions. New districts are selected every three months, which are then particularly intensively monitored. The positive feedback from the citizens show that such initiatives have a broad understanding and acceptance.

The further details of this successful use and the relevant controls are important for understanding the measures and their effectiveness. Such programs can help strengthen the security feeling of the citizens sustainably and to optimize strategic plans in the fight against crime.
