The focus: SPÖ demands more presence and less overtime

In the past few days, the topic of police staff has gained importance in public discussion. The Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) has made concrete demands that relate to the current situation of the police. A lack of police officers, excessive overtime and an urgent need for more presence in the streets is spoken

The SPÖ clearly summarizes the core problems. The decline in police forces has a direct impact on public security. Again and again it is emphasized that the number of available officers is not sufficient to ensure security in cities and municipalities. In addition, those who are on duty are under high pressure, which leads to an increased number of overtime.

reactions of the authorities

The reactions of the Interior Ministry of this criticism were not long in coming. It was emphasized that the police have always tried to meet the needs of the population, even if the circumstances are challenging. A ministry spokesman made it clear that they work on solutions and take the situation of the police seriously. They pointed out that one should not fall into the right myths and rumors.

This clarification is particularly important to avoid misinformation that may lead to a damaged trust in the police. In today's world, in which fake news is present everywhere, it is all the more important to draw a look at the facts.

The SPÖ also criticized the fact that the current situation hindered the police in their work. It was challenged to increase the number of police positions and create better working conditions. This would not only help the police officers to do their work more effectively, but also create a greater feeling of security among the population.

In summary, it can be said that the discussion about the police staff in Austria continues to gain journey. It remains to be seen how the government will react to the claims and what measures are taken to improve the situation. For more information on this topic, see the current reporting on www.krone.at .
