Police exercise in Korneuburg: Special units test their strength!

Raiffeisenstraße 4, 2100 Korneuburg, Österreich - The municipality of Korneuburg becomes a setting for special police training! On January 10, 2025, a large-scale exercise by the federal police will take place at the newly created police training base in Raiffeisenstrasse 4. On this occasion, the emergency services of the Federal Police Directorate will demonstrate their skills and demonstrate the coordinated processes between the various organizational units. Time and location are therefore set: from 10 a.m., for around 60 minutes, media representatives can get an impression on site what the security forces can afford at special missions, such as OTS reports .

transformation of a disused asylum quarters

The newly created exercise base has a very special history. What once served as an asylum quarters will be used as a training location for elite units such as Wega (Wiener Use Group alarm department) and fast intervention groups (SIG) from late spring 2025. The asylum quarters, which had not been operated since mid -September, was concluded due to a decline in the asylum applications, and now the site is used by the police as a practice room. "The location in Korneuburg is located near the federal capital and is therefore ideal as a exercise object for the special forces of the federal police. Such objects are difficult to find," said Federal Police Director Michael Takac. Mayor Christian Gepp welcomed the quick decision to reuse this significant facility, such as "https://www.korneuburg.gv.at/asylquartier_wird_2025_Polizei-uebungsstuetzpunkt"> Korneuburg.gv.at reports .

particularly emphasized is the strategic importance of the new location, which allows the police to optimally prepare for challenges and operations. The conversion of disused facilities into training locations is a contemporary solution to use resources sensibly and at the same time strengthen the operational readiness of the security forces.
