Angelika Niedetzky will be seen as an inspector in "Soko Linz" from the next season. Beforehand, she completed professional operational training with the real police - including shooting training and an arrest.

"Police, drop the gun and put your hands up": Angelika Niedetzky will be seen as the new detective Romana Karwinsky in the upcoming season of "Soko Linz". Before the start of filming in June, the TV policewoman picked up some important tips from her "colleagues". Born in Upper Austria, she learned from the experts at the police training center in Sattledt how to handle a weapon and make an arrest, among other things.

The actress clearly had fun arresting police press officer Fritz Stadlmayr.(Bild: Polizei OÖ)

She was also allowed to look for the pain point in the wrist of press spokesman Fritz Stadlmayr and then put handcuffs on him. So the TV crooks and offenders will have to get used to a highly trained Commissioner Karwinsky.
