Directive Proposal for Safeguarding Workers from Ionizing Radiation Risks Presented by the Commission
In the heart of Marl, citizens are expressing their appreciation for the increased police presence, which provides them with a sense of security. This heightened visibility is part of a series of measures established by the Recklinghausen police following last year's Halloween unrest.
Significant improvements have been made in the area of abandoned shopping carts, a problem that was among the topics discussed at the third network meeting held on September 5, 2025, at the police headquarters in Recklinghausen. The meeting, which brought together police, city of Marl departments, Vestische tram, social workers, and shopping center representatives, also focused on the coming weeks and months, particularly Halloween and New Year's Eve.
Three targeted deployments in Marl-Mitte since Halloween 2024 were conducted, with officers conducting checks during these deployments and a mobile police station regularly deployed in the area. The police and KOD have been regularly present in and around the ZOB due to agreed measures from these network meetings.
The status of criminal proceedings initiated after last year's Halloween riots was discussed, with investigations leading to charges being brought. The participants exchanged information on the current status and progress of the planned measures, and Police President Friederike Zurhausen thanked all involved for their perseverance and consistency in the interest of safety.
Extensive investigations into last year's Halloween riots have led to criminal proceedings being initiated. The meeting was the third in a series set up by the Recklinghausen police following the unrest of the previous year.
Thomas Pierenkämper, who was appointed as the new police chief in the Recklinghausen district on August 20, 2025, may have led the third conference of the network for the police, but there is no explicit public confirmation of this.
Safety is seen as a collective achievement, with all actors working hand in hand in Marl. The police's news can also be followed on the provided social media and messaging platform links. For media inquiries, the police headquarters can be contacted at the provided contact information.
