Police officers in Prignitz document night shift operations, including speed checks and alcohol checks.
Police on night duty: Speed and alcohol offenders in Prignitz!
The nights during the summer celebrations in Prignitz are sometimes very busy. This was also the case in the last few nights, when police inspectors Jaqueline Prehm (24) and Rico Ziem (37) were deployed in Perleberg during their 12-hour night shift on August 23rd and 24th. The two police officers, who have been in the region for three years, had an exciting evening MAZ reports.
Their shift began promptly at 5:15 p.m. at the Perleberg police station, where they took over the patrol car from the day shift. Not only are you responsible for Perleberg, but you can also be called to surrounding towns such as Wittenberge and Pritzwalk. A police station staffed around the clock ensures that children in the region are safe while celebrating.
Operations and controls
The first operation followed at 6 p.m. in the form of a speed control on the B5, which was limited to a maximum of 70 km/h due to construction work. Three speeding violations were recorded in just 45 minutes. We can also see a good example of how important it is to protect life and limb in road traffic in the statistical values:
| driver | transgression |
|---|---|
| Woman from Kyritz | 16 km/h |
| Man from Prignitz | 14 km/h |
| Man from Kyritz | 23 km/h according to tolerance |
How Office at the town hall As emphasized, excessive speed is one of the most common causes of accidents. Parallel to the controls, several festivals took place in the region, which required additional police forces. At 9 p.m., a van without a license plate was checked, but it was quickly made clear that it was dangerous, so it was only given a band.
The next big challenge was at 10 p.m. when an alcohol test was carried out. The driver had a nasty 2.36 per mille. A real danger to road traffic, because it's loud Lecture A value of 1.1 per mille is already considered to be completely unfit to drive. This is a crime that is punishable by a fine or even imprisonment. The driver was immediately taken to the hospital for a blood sample.
A turbulent night shift
The shift was characterized by various missions. At 11:30 p.m. the reports increased - disturbances and an e-scooter driver driving drunk were reported. The police had to be deployed to the city and harbor festival at 1:30 a.m. to check a driver who had just given way to someone. Another bizarre operation followed at 2 a.m. for alleged bodily harm, which turned out to be a harmless relationship dispute.
Last but not least, at 3 a.m., the police found a dog without an owner in Wittenberge and were quickly able to locate the owner. Operations like this show how unpredictable the night shifts often are. The shift ended at 5:15 a.m., but the operational situation always remained exciting and unpredictable.
The experiences of Prehm and Ziem not only illustrate the challenges that the police are faced with, but also the immense importance of traffic controls in order to prevent accidents and dangers of all kinds. Despite all the challenges, the police always have to have a good hand and be there for the safety of citizens.
