Joint Information service of the Police Corps and the Protection and Rescue Forces during EURO 2008

During the European Football Championship in June 2008, the Police Corps of the City and the Canton of Zurich operate a joint media information centre in conjunction with the Protection and Rescue Forces of Zurich. The information centre will provide the media with information around the tournament.

In order to inform the media representatives continuously of all relevant safety and security matters around the EURO 2008, the media information centre of both police corps of Zurich and the Protection and Rescue Forces of Zurich will inform together in the following frequency:

morning bulletin at around 6.30 a.m.,
midday bulletin at around 11.30 a.m.,
afternoon bulletin at around 4.30 p.m. and
evening bulletin at around 11.30 p.m.

The bulletins will be sent out approximately half an hour beforehand. The midday bulletin is optional and will only be prepared upon a changed situation as compared to the morning bulletin. Due to the fact that no matches will take place in Zurich as from June 17, 2008, we will review the information frequency and adjust it if necessary. All media representatives will be informed accordingly at an early stage.

With a time lag of about two hours, all media releases will be available in English, French and Italian (English: http://www.securityeuro2008.ch; French: http://www.securiteeuro2008.ch; Italian: http://www.sicurezzaeuro2008.ch). Media representatives also have the opportunity to subscribe there for an RSS-Feed.

We will inform about all matters not relating to the EURO 2008 via the usual channels. The joint media centre may be reached as from Friday, June 6, 2008 until the end of the tournament between 6.30 a.m. and 1.00 a.m. under the existing phone number (+41 (0)44 411 91 11). Moreover, the Police of the Canton of Zurich as well as the Protection and Rescue Forces of Zurich have installed further direct channels.
