In a bid to enhance security in the train station suburb and Steintor quarter, Bremen police have announced a stronger presence. This move is part of an ongoing strategy that aims at sustainably increasing security in specified areas.

The central locations, including Hillmannplatz, Philosophenweg, and Tivoli, will see future focus checks. These checks will be both open and covert, with a focus on the weapons ban zone in these areas.

During the disruption, several knives, a knuckleduster, several knives, and cannabis were secured by the police. Against several individuals, criminal or administrative offense reports were filed. The officers also initiated proceedings against a man who was driving without a license and insurance.

A seemingly tampered E-bike was also seized by the police, and it was revealed that the rider had driven through two red lights at high speed. In total, over 60 individuals were checked, and 24 were searched.

It is important to note that the names of individual officers coordinating these additional security measures are typically confidential and are not publicly disclosed by the police authorities due to data protection and operational reasons.

However, it can be stated that the responsible bodies for such measures usually include the Police Presidium or Police Directorate, a Fachdienst (special department) for trade, events, and special situations, the Landespolizei (state police), and in some cases, the local police in the city where the area of interest is located.

For journalists, organisations, businesses, or the general public, there are usually press office contacts: the Press Office of the Police Directorate can provide information (not about individual officers but about the proceedings and the measures). In some city districts, there are also contact persons for crime prevention or trustworthy contact officers (KOB) who work closely with residents, initiatives, and businesses. The leader of the responsible police station is also responsible for the management of the measures.

For detailed information, it is recommended to contact the Press Office of the Police Directorate via email or phone. For journalists, it is advisable to make an inquiry under the Freedom of Information Act (IFG). As citizens, you can also obtain general information from the Citizens' Advice Bureau of the Police.

It is also worth noting that the names of individual officers are not made public due to data protection and security reasons. However, you will usually receive a formal, understandable response regarding the structures, responsible authorities, and the principles of the measures.

In conclusion, the coordination of these measures lies with the Police Directorate/Police Presidium and their special departments; individual officer names are not disclosed for security reasons. For general information, please contact the Press Office of the Police.
