43 police officers and 16 guide dogs now strengthen the emergency services in Germany – Interior Minister Gerhard Karner wishes peace at the sports festival. The first contact with the fans is planned for June 12 during the last training of the red-white-red team in Berlin.
Germany is preparing for a real influx of visitors because, as reported, the European Football Championship in its neighboring country will become a sports festival of superlatives. The security package is tightly tailored so that terrorists, hooligans or other ‘dangerous elements’ are not given the opportunity to carry out attacks. Foreign troops, including those from Austria, also serve as reinforcement.
43 police officers and 16 guide dogs have now been sent to the big event by Interior Minister Gerhard Karner (ÖVP) and Federal Police Chief Michael Takàcs. The contingent of uniformed emergency services is led with a lot of football knowledge by Lieutenant Colonel Kathrin Horn from Carinthia, who herself played in the Bundesliga.
The experiences from EM 2008 play a key role
The reputation and experience of hosting the 2008 European Football Championship will also give our authorities a key role in the security police preparations.
When saying goodbye, Karner proudly emphasizes: “I look forward to the upcoming football event, but above all I wish our police team all the best for the tasks that await them in the coming weeks.”
The first contact with the fans is scheduled for June 12 during the last training of the red-white-red team in Berlin. In any case, the so-called spotters are motivated to the core.
