Berne: Operation of detention and waiting areasDuring the European Football Championship, the Bernese cantonal police will operate two detention and waiting areas. This will provide adequate space and infrastructure in case of numerous arrests. Considering the teams (France, Italy, Holland, Romania) and their fans hosted by the Host City of Berne, the Bernese cantonal police expects that the European Football Championship will bring a peaceful atmosphere and exciting matches to the city of Berne. Nevertheless the police needs to plan for the case that a large number of persons have to be detained. The experience of the German police during the World Championship 2006 in Germany has shown the necessity of appropriate planning. Especially on the occasion of several incidents with hooligans in Cologne and Stuttgart the police had to arrest numerous persons. The cantonal police law and the cantonal criminal procedure provide the legal basis for this kind of detentions. These two laws complement each other in their scope of application: While the police law especially allows the intervention in order to defend risks, the criminal procedure constitutes the legal basis for intervention in case of a strong suspicion of criminal conduct. To ensure that the detained persons are taken care of in an appropriate manner, the Bernese cantonal Police has set up a special infrastructure. It includes areas for personal search, accommodation (waiting areas) and interrogation of arrested persons. The waiting areas are built with fences similar to the ones used during the World Championship 06 in Germany. One of these detention and waiting areas will be set up in the police training centre in Ittigen, and another one in the Neufeld police post in the city of Berne.
The adequate sanitary care for the arrested will be assured at all time. Furthermore we will focus especially on the close cooperation with the department of justice and the aliens’ police. Both partners will always be on site. That way we can make sure that the arrested persons can be fined immediately or submitted to other legal sanctions, if required.
