Strallhofer: “Vienna police officers deserve appreciation and relief”
Vienna (OTS) –

Vienna police officers worked over 2 million hours of overtime last year – a situation that is no longer acceptable, according to Walter Strallhofer, chairman of the FSG Vienna Police. At today’s media campaign near Wien Mitte under the motto “In action for you” the extensive list of demands of the FSG Police Vienna for the upcoming staff council elections was presented. “The Viennese police officers deserve appreciation and relief. In the past few years, we as FSG have had countless conversations with colleagues, looked after them during missions and supported them with a wide range of matters. They were intensive but also successful years that showed us: Change is necessary and for this we need a strong FSG,” explains Strallhofer. ****

“The Viennese police officers do an enormous amount every day. Thousands of events and demonstrations take place in the federal capital Vienna, and Vienna is also the seat of all government and administrative centers in Austria. Therefore, as the federal capital, we urgently demand more resources to improve the working conditions of our police officers,” explains Strallhofer. The FSG Police Vienna is therefore demanding more staff, a reform of the salary and reward system and modern infrastructure in the departments. Strallhofer explicitly refers to Mayor Dr. Michael Ludwig called for a ‘capital city bonus’ for Vienna police officers: “It is one of our long-standing demands to introduce a workload allowance for Vienna police officers. “I can therefore only support the mayor’s call for a ‘capital city bonus’ for Vienna’s police officers.”

It is also important that even more people can be enthusiastic about the profession. In this regard, the City of Vienna supports the Vienna Police within the scope of its competence with equipment, premises and a joint recruiting campaign, but more is needed. The Interior Ministry’s systematic savings in the police force mean that despite the increasing population, the number of police officers is declining. Since 2020, the number of police officers on duty across Austria has fallen by 4,000 officers. “That’s why we started the referendum ‘Police – critical staff shortage’. The central requirement is a legal minimum number of police officers linked to the number of residents. Every signature is an important step towards improving the working conditions of the police and thus maintaining security in our city,” explains Strallhofer.
