Fight against rowdy behavior: new club service in nurnberg for more safety and order

Mullsunders, reckless dog owners, cyclists in pedestrian zones: ten uniformed municipal employees will support the police in nurnberg in the fight against rowdy behavior in the future. As the city announced on friday, the initially seven colleagues of the new communal cleaning service are to keep an eye on irregularities.

In addition to the city center, they are also to control the grill zones seven days a week. The number of employees is to be increased to ten next year. From the beginning of december, their area of operation will initially include the old city ring road and will be expanded later on.

Bub and custody fines possible

The officers are allowed to impose fines and cautions. The police is not a reaction to the self-appointed and mostly right-wing "burgerwehren", the city council had already decided on the concept for the care service last year.

In other municipalities, there are similar colleagues – mostly under the name of "ordnungsdienst". The officers are wearing police-style dark blue uniforms and caps, protective gear and carrying pepper spray.

They are not to be confused with the 52 volunteer security guards who help the police, especially on weekends. They were allowed to determine the identity of someone who posed a danger, and they were allowed to hold them until the police arrived. They were also allowed to issue expulsions. They wear tactical jackets and a service ID card.
