The first event “Coffee With Cops” recently took place in the City Center. With this initiative, which was carried out in a relaxed environment, the citizens had the opportunity to talk to the police in a relaxed atmosphere. Be it to ask questions or simply to have an informal exchange - the initiative aims to promote understanding between the population and the executive.

Mayor Manuel Scherscher said that the purpose of the event is to reduce barriers. "We would like to strengthen the proximity between citizens and the police and create a better feeling of security in our community. This is particularly important today," says Scherscher. The event was well received because it gives people the opportunity to communicate directly with their security forces.

goals and initiatives

"Coffee With Cops" is part of the Austrian initiative "Together. Safe", a police project that aims to improve the trust between the population and the executive. Security council Christoph Zechmeister emphasized the need for strong cooperation in order to work together on a safe society. "With such events we would like to encourage citizens to actively ask questions and discuss concerns," he said.

The first event was accompanied by various personalities from the city, including Mayor Christian Haberhauer and chief inspector Oliver Zechmeister. Their presence underlined the importance of dialogue between citizens and the police. Such direct conversations can help to clear out misunderstandings and to create a better conscience for security in the city.

Today it is more important than ever to have a trusting relationship between the population and the police. Events such as "Coffee With Cops" not only create direct contact, but also promote a better understanding of the challenges with which the police are faced with. This can lead to a positive development of the security situation in the municipality in the long term.

The local population is committed and has already signaled interest in future meetings. "Coffee with cops" is not just about conversations, but also about the feeling of community and cohesion. "We look forward to offering such events regularly and further consolidating the bond with the population," concluded Zechmeister.
