In Germany since 1994 and in Austria from 2016 to 2020, security partners have been or have been active as a supplement to the police , whose aim is to give the population a feeling of security. This goal is to be achieved through the visibility and the provision of services by the security advisors. Furthermore, a politically desired alternative to possible neighborhood guards or vigilante groups should be created. The security advisors have no special powers and only have so-called public rights .

Germany (Brandenburg)

Since 1994 there have been over 400 security partners (SiPa) in the state of Brandenburg along the Polish border and in the area around Berlin (as of 2018). The legal basis is the decree of the Brandenburg Interior Minister of October 11, 1995, IV / 8 - 276, on the Local Crime Prevention Campaign (KKV) . In contrast to the voluntary police services or security guards in other federal states, there is no training for the security partners in Brandenburg and the service is carried out unarmed. The SiPa only receive a certificate from the country, a jacket with the inscription Security Partner, insurance and EUR 25 per month. SiPa employees should not intervene under any circumstances, but call the police if it appears necessary.

Area of ​​responsibility

The scope of the tasks is agreed upon with the respective local residents' assembly and is therefore determined differently. The following areas can be:

Active activities

  • Escort and pick-up services, for example for retirees on retirement pay days
  • Presence or accompaniment on the way to school
  • Presence in local "fear rooms", especially on the ways to and from bus stops, at underpasses, in parks or * conducting arbitration talks
  • Design of and participation in self-assertion courses
  • Perception of measures of neighborhood help, for example with flatmates without direct neighbors

Advisory activity

  • for road safety
  • for self-protection against criminal activities

All activities are carried out in consultation with the responsible local government and the Brandenburg Police .

Austria (Burgenland)

In 2016, the Burgenland provincial government created the security partners. It was a pilot experiment in some communities on the Hungarian and Slovakian borders, on the one hand to raise the population's feeling of security after the migration crisis of 2015 and on the other hand to provide neighborhood help . The pilot experiment was extended several times, but was discontinued after the state elections in 2020 , as the SPÖ took over the security agendas from the former coalition partner FPÖ and discontinued the program for cost reasons.

education

The offices were deliberately assigned to long-term unemployed people without a Matura , and the training of the staff took eleven days. The training contents were law, self-protection, "dispute resolution" and first aid . The 24 security partners were employees of a private security company .
