Public order cameras

The mayor can place cameras on the street if necessary for safety. These cameras are mainly located in the city center. But they can also be placed in other places in the city if necessary for safety.

There are two types of cameras, fixed cameras are installed for four years at a time. Then they are evaluated. These cameras are installed for a long time in areas with the most crowds and the most incidents.

The municipality also has flexible cameras that are installed for short periods of a few days up to a maximum of six months.

Thanks to live camera surveillance, incipient incidents can be seen quickly. Then the police or an enforcer can be sent to the incident. The images may also be used by the police for investigation. There is also a preventive effect of camera surveillance and many residents, visitors and entrepreneurs feel safer through the cameras. Municipal observers monitor these cameras live almost 24 hours a day. The images are stored for 28 days and then deleted. Except when images are needed for detection: They are kept longer by the police. All cameras are placed on the basis of designation decisions made by the mayor. These decisions are published on this page.
