Against traffic offenders
Blue lights for 195 police bikes
The police's fleet of bicycles is now being expanded by 89 officers.
Traffic offenders are certainly not among their fans: 370 bicycle police officers are now on duty throughout Austria, most of them in Vienna. And their record is impressive. In the previous year alone, the officers on the bikes filed almost 11,000 reports and also issued more than 15,000 tickets. In both cases, the federal capital was the clear leader.
In addition to targeted training, investments are now also being made in equipment. The total of 195 service bicycles (55 of which are e-bikes) are being fitted with blue lights. "The bicycle police are a cornerstone of road safety," says Interior Minister Gerhard Karner (ÖVP).
