Brutal attacks on police officers: a call for help from Schwerin!

Schwerin, Deutschland - In the past few weeks, the news about brutal attacks on emergency services cannot be demolished. In particular in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, disturbing incidents, such as [svz.de] (http://www.svz.de/regional/schwerin/polizist-bewuschloslos-get-es-gt-noch- Mehr----3680876), are reported. Last weekend, a police officer in Schwerin was brutally attacked and kicked out during a mission. However, his colleague was able to ward off further attacks and prevent worse. Such incidents are not an isolated case: In Neubrandenburg, an official was suddenly hit the face in October 2023 by a 29-year-old-he had to go to the hospital with several injuries. The perpetrator was instructed in psychiatry.

In Greifswald, for example, police officers were attacked in front of a bar during a fight, with a man being injured so badly that he had to be treated inpatient. The situation was not better in Rostock either: when a man was arrested, the passers -by molested, a police officer suffered a broken jaw; A total of three police officers were injured there. This concern about the safety of the emergency services is not only relevant locally. A photo campaign under the motto "No violence against emergency services" should draw attention to the increasing violence, which was created by organizations such as the Maltese Hilfsdienst and the German Red Cross in Ravensburg. With a solidarity campaign, emergency services show that violence is not tolerated against them, reports [Wochenblatt-news.de] (https://www.wochenblatt-news.de/region-ravensburg/weingarten/geme-akt-klütfamilie-soll-auf-get- against Einsatzkraefkraefte-Mote-Mehm-machen

increasing aggression in operations

The numbers are alarming: According to reports, over 46,000 cases of violence against police forces were registered in 2023. The causes are diverse and ranged from social tensions to a general loss of respect for authorities, such as [bundeswehr-und-mehr.de] (https://www.bundeswehr-und-mehr.de/blog/ Einsatzkraefte/chalt-geforzi-miugamten). In addition, alcohol and drug influence and group dynamics play an important role in crowds. Police officers are often in the crossfire of frustration and willingness to violence. The police emphasize that attacks against helpers are a fundamental attack on the rule of law.

The security protocols are reinforced to better protect the emergency services. This includes detailed operational planning and de -escalation strategies to defuse critical situations. Furthermore, police officers are always trained in physical self -defense, stress management and the use of modern technology. A holistic approach was presented to increase both security and respect for emergency services by creating prevention programs and sensitizing educational campaigns.

The reality of the emergency services

The reality with which emergency services are faced with is often depressing. In one of the more recent incidents in Rostock, a paramedic who had provided first aid in an operation was attacked by a companion of the patient. But it does not remain with attacks on the police: rescue workers are also increasingly targeting attacks. An example shows that an emergency paramedic was struck in a deployment in the district of Sigmaringen.

The argument that such attacks are an expression of social problems is getting louder. They reflect a deep social frustration that is expressed in a disrespectful and sometimes violent way. This creates a worrying tendency that suggests both society and the authorities to proceed immediately against violence and to protect the emergency services. These challenges can only be mastered by a common awareness and commitment to the security of all citizens.
