The police can save more than before. In addition to the cutbacks that have already been arranged during overtime, there must also be cuts in the climate for police students and the recruitment bonuses. This stems from a meeting protocol of the Styria State Police directorate.
As a result, the climate “no longer paid from June 2026”, such as the official document of 17 March, which will be signed by one of the two deputy state police directors, says the APA. More than a year and a half ago, the Ministry of the Interior had introduced a free climate for police students throughout Austria as part of the staff offensive in the police.
The recruitment bonus “falls away”, as explained in the newspaper. These have been available since 2023 for police officers who successfully recruit students.
Ministry of the Interior does not want to say anything
The directorate of the Styria State Police refers to the Ministry of the Interior. There you do not want to get closer to the content of the protocol that has been sent to all district police commands. However, the jurisdiction of the Ministry for the recruitment bonus and the climate ket is emphasized. The Ministry of the Interior also underlines the previous communication line, according to which security is not stored and the personnel offensive continues. The survival of climate and recruitment bonus is included.
It is not answered why in the newspaper that is available for the APA there is still talk of cuts in the bonuses and the opening. The consequences of overtime are not discussed in more detail. Every state police is “of course obliged to make the company economically and economically,” says it alone.
Cuts in Vienna at overtime hours
However, some savings have already been resolved: the police in Vienna have already prescribed cuts in March. Similar concepts would be in other federal states. Only for the nine police music bands are uniform requirements of the Ministry of the Interior.
Austerity measures in styria in the room
In the current meeting protocol there are other possible measures for the police in Styria: the reduction of “Multi -Services” makes a minus of 20 percent in Styria. Construction measures are currently being put on ice. In the summer of 2025, the Graz Bicycle Police will also patrol with just half as many officials.
Uniformed reports that in some styric districts are already only two stripes in the night shift because of the emergency. The failure of night strips and the shortage of sector strip services is also complained. Sick leave in the short term cannot be filled.
