Daily Overview Security EURO 2008, Friday, May 30, 2008 (mic)

POLICE ALREADY ON THE JOB: The planning and preparation work of the host cities’ cantonal police corps and the other cantonal and municipal police forces with regard to the EURO 2008 is fulfilled. The security forces now step in the operational phase. For all blue-light organisations and the other forces they work with, cooperation remains the key strategy to success. Due to the holiday ban for June the fortified police presence should clearly be noticed by the public with immediate effect. (source: http://www.securityeuro2008.ch)

ARMAMENT OF MILITARY FORCES: The Swiss Federal Government has commented on a respective interpellation by National Councillor Josef Lang (Green Fraction/ZG). Due to the subsidiary army operations, the decision regarding the arnament of the Swiss Armed Forces during the EURO 2008 rests with the civil authorities. The Swiss Armed Forces will not be involved in security operations. (Source: http://www.vbs.admin.ch)

CRIMINAL ACTS COMMITTED BY MINORS: Unfortunately at mass rallies as the EURO 2008 individuals often use the opportunity to commit crimes. The law enforcement agencies have therefore decided to immediately take disciplinary actions against criminals in compliance with the code of criminal procedure. The immediate judgment of criminal acts concerns adults and minors. This direct reaction only allows an effective and credible intervention which avoids other noticeable problems caused by the same individual. (Source: http://www.sid.bs.ch)

SECURITY-MEASURES AROUND THE “AMTSHAUS I” IN ZURICH: The Police of the City of Zurich assume responsibility for the safety and security of the people in the City of Zurich. In order to ensure full mobility and freedom of action for the police forces, several measures like barriers and traffic controls will be needed around the “Amtshaus I” at Bahnhofquai 3. (Source)

RESPECT AND UNDERSTANDING: There are only a few days to go until the EURO 2008 kick-off. Therefore the Police of the City of Winterthur have launched the campaign “Winti by night - fun & respect”. The campaign calls the party people and the local residents for a respectful behaviour with each other. On the one hand, increased immissions by football enthusiastic fans will be inevitable. For a limited period of time, it needs to be counted with higher noise levels. On the other hand, not all inhabitants of Winterthur share the pleasures of football. Furthermore, many people have a need for sleep. In this sense, respect and mutual understanding are vital for a reconciliation of the diametrically opposed needs.
