Security in the carnival: Police are increasingly presence after attacks in Cologne

Köln, Deutschland - The 11.11. stands at the door and the Cologne police have prepared for a dramatic increase in their emergency services! Despite the expectation that fewer people will flow into the Zülpicher district, the police would like to ensure security with additional 200 officials. After shocking incidents in other cities, including a knife attack in Siegen and a tragic attack in Solingen, police chief Frank Wißbaum and his team warn: "The strong presence will all notice!"

A clear appeal comes from police chief Johannes Hermanns, who asks all celebrants to leave dangerous objects at home. Anyone who violates this rule could get on a “short and expensive day” because the police will carry out strict controls at the carnival hotspots. With an extended prohibition of weapons around Zülpicher Straße, he is tried to keep knives and other weapons away from celebrating. In the event of violations, sensitive fines threaten!

planned security measures

The city has the plans for the solemn atmosphere on November 11th. adjusted. Although less rush is expected, the security concept remains. From 6 a.m. the Zülpicher district will be cordoned off with two controlled inputs. In addition, an "overflow area" is set up on the Uniwiesen - smaller than in previous years. DJs and stages are missing this year, instead there is only background music and non -alcoholic drinks.

over 1000 security forces, including 800 especially for the Zülpicher district, ensure disciplined party mood. The importance of these measures is underlined by the increased checks of the people used. Whether with toilet facilities or at the toilet emergency service-the city has everything under control! And for everyone who wants to pee wildly, there are also clear consequences: up to 200 euros have a fine for culprits!
