Joint Efforts for Enhanced Security: 11,000 Cameras at Train Stations – Number of Crimes Solved by Federal Police Triples
(Berlin, December 29, 2024) – The German Federal Police (Bundespolizei) is significantly expanding the video surveillance at train stations nationwide. By the end of 2024, a total of 11,000 cameras will be installed, almost three times the number of cameras currently in operation. This investment in security measures is part of a comprehensive strategy to deter and combat crime at train stations and to ensure the safety of passengers and staff.
The President of the Federal Police, Dieter Romann, emphasized the importance of this comprehensive approach: “We are taking a proactive stance against crime at train stations. The expansion of video surveillance is a key element in our strategy to prevent offenses and create a greater sense of security for travelers.”
The Federal Police has already seen tangible results from its increased use of video surveillance. In the first half of 2024, the number of crimes solved by the Federal Police in connection with video surveillance tripled compared to the same period in the previous year. This success is attributed to the improved ability to identify and apprehend suspects, as well as to gather evidence to support further investigations.
In addition to expanding video surveillance, the Federal Police is also implementing other security measures at train stations. These include increasing the presence of police officers, introducing new technologies such as body cameras, and working closely with railway companies and other partners to create a comprehensive security concept.
The Federal Minister of the Interior and Community, Nancy Faeser, welcomed the commitment of the Federal Police to enhance security at train stations: “The safety of our citizens is a top priority for our government. We are providing the Federal Police with the necessary resources to ensure that passengers and staff can travel safely and without fear.”
The Federal Police emphasized that the expansion of video surveillance does not violate data protection regulations. All data is stored securely and is only accessed for law enforcement purposes. Passengers can rest assured that their privacy is protected.
The Federal Police’s commitment to enhanced security at train stations is a significant step towards creating a safer and more secure travel experience for all.
