Another way to convince the Public Prosecution Service of the usefulness of cameras is with a stack of reports. But that is also disappointing, according to the mayor. “But the number of reports that have now been received is insufficient. That is why I once again appeal to everyone: if something is wrong, report it. Of course not only during New Year’s Eve, but all year round.”
Other measures: area bans and vigilante justice
In addition to camera surveillance, residents suggested other measures, such as area bans, talking to parents, a vigilante group and lighting in the flats. The mayor previously said that he has ‘no words for the battlefield’ that had been caused, and emphasizes that he wants to prevent a recurrence.
“We have noted everything and will do everything in our power to improve the situation in that neighborhood.”
