Press Release: Together for more security: 11,000 cameras at railway stations – Number of crimes detected by the Federal Police has tripled
Berlin, 29 December 2024 – At a press conference today, Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser presented the latest figures on crime detection at railway stations. According to the figures, the number of crimes detected by the Federal Police has tripled since the expansion of video surveillance at railway stations.
In recent years, the Federal Police has significantly expanded the video surveillance of railway stations. By the end of 2024, a total of 11,000 cameras will monitor the stations throughout Germany. The expansion of video surveillance is part of the “Master Plan for Safe Railway Stations” presented by the Federal Ministry of the Interior in 2021.
“The expansion of video surveillance at railway stations is an important step towards increasing safety for passengers and staff,” said Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser. “The figures show that the investment in video surveillance has been worthwhile. The number of crimes detected by the Federal Police has tripled since the expansion of video surveillance.”
In 2021, the Federal Police detected a total of 10,237 crimes at railway stations. In 2022, this number rose to 29,871. The increase is mainly due to the expansion of video surveillance. The cameras have made it possible to identify and arrest more criminals.
“Video surveillance is an effective tool in the fight against crime,” said Federal Police President Dieter Romann. “The cameras deter criminals and help us to detect and arrest them more quickly.”
The Federal Ministry of the Interior is planning to further expand video surveillance at railway stations in the coming years. By 2026, all railway stations with more than 100,000 passengers per day are to be equipped with video surveillance.
“We want to make railway stations in Germany as safe as possible,” said Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser. “The expansion of video surveillance is an important step in this direction.”
