Viennese police: Austerity measures meet 52 inspections on public holidays!

The Viennese police are facing far -reaching innovations in duty roster. From July 2025, there will be cuts in the office hours that affect 52 police inspections in which no more 24-hour party traffic is offered. On Sundays and public holidays, citizens can only reimburse ads in the city at 29 locations, while the possibility of visiting the inspections open to party concerns around the clock remains. Exxpress reports that these measures have been based on positive experiences from restricted party traffic since October 2023.

The goal of the Viennese police is to devote themselves more intensively to the needs of the population and to focus on the executive field service. Citizens should be informed of the nearest open police station at the weekend through notices. In October 2023, party traffic was limited to 29 inspections from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. to 7 a.m. to 7 a.m., a measure based on previous plans. These were assessed in spring 2023 on the basis of the budget provisional of the Interior Ministry.

criticism of the measures

The new cuts encounter considerable criticism. Representatives of the Group of Social Democratic Unionists say that these measures lead to an additional burden on the remaining departments. On Sundays and public holidays, fewer police officers are on duty, which could influence the security situation in the city. The parliamentary group of Christian trade unionists also criticizes the austerity measures because they could endanger the quality of the police and security services.

A statement by the blue upgrade is still pending. It remains to be seen how the plans will affect the daily work of the police in Vienna and whether the security situation is impaired by the reduced opening times.
