Forty-eight police officers from Austria’s federal states are to be deployed to Vienna for up to three months from September, as authorities respond to growing concerns over migrant youth crime and violence in the capital.
The reinforcements will support Vienna’s police, particularly during night-time operations and in areas identified as crime hotspots. Six officers will come from Carinthia, while others will be drawn from Salzburg, Styria, Lower Austria, Upper Austria, and Burgenland.
