SPÖ is calling for 200 new police officers for more security in Burgenland

At a recent meeting in Neusiedl am See, high -ranking politicians from the SPÖ have again confirmed their demand for an increase in police forces in Burgenland. According to MPs Kilian Brandstätter, Roman Kainrath and the National Council MP Maximilian Köllner, 200 police officers would be missing in Burgenland to ensure the security of the citizens.

The discussion about police resources was particularly fueled by some worrying incidents. So there was a robbery in a toilet in Gols, a break -in into the building of the Water Management Association in Neusiedl am See and a slump into a family home in Parndorf. These events clarify that there is an urgent need for action in the Neusiedl am See district to better protect the citizens.

Current security situation

The severity of the last crimes that have recently occurred has prompted politicians to demand measures to strengthen police presence. The SPÖ district chairman Brandstätter and Köllner emphasized how important it was to improve the security situation in the district. This can only be done by increasing the number of police officers who work in this area.

Burgenland has struggled with an increase in crime in recent years. The incidents mentioned are part of a larger trend that unsettled the residents. In an environment in which the citizens feel increasingly vulnerable, the goal of the SPÖ is clear: a significant reinforcement of the police to ensure a feeling of security.

Brandstätter said that the current staff ceiling was not sufficient to adequately master the challenges that the police are facing. The demand for 200 additional officials is therefore a central point in the discussions about the security policy of the region. There have always been similar demands in the past, but so far there has been a concrete implementation. The urgency to tackle this topic is clearly highlighted by the local representatives.
