Crime development in view
As far as crime is concerned, the Federal Criminal Police Office's police crime statistics (PKS) show a decrease in crime of 1.7% to around 5.84 million cases in 2024. This decrease is mainly due to fewer cannabis offenses, which has been a noticeable issue since partial legalization on April 1, 2024. Nevertheless, there is an increase in crimes that affect citizens' sense of security. The trend and the numbers come from Statista.
But not everything is positive: the most common crimes are theft and fraud, even if crimes against life play a smaller role. The number of unreported crimes remains high, which is why the collection of security data remains enormously important.
The issues in our region are omnipresent, and it is also crucial to look at the clearance rate of investigations - this will be 58% in 2024 and has decreased slightly compared to the previous year. Especially in times of uncertainty, it is important that crimes are solved as quickly as possible.
Amid these challenges, the city administration is required to take preventive measures to ensure safety on the streets of Auerbach and the surrounding area. Whether through increased police presence or awareness campaigns. Citizens need to feel safe, not only when driving, but also in everyday life.
