36th Weekly Burglary Tracker: Monitoring Break-ins Across the City

In the heart of North Rhine-Westphalia, the city of Bielefeld has recently witnessed a significant milestone. The Bielefeld Police Department, in their ongoing efforts to ensure the safety of its citizens, has announced that no burglaries were recorded in the city during the 36th week.

This achievement underscores the department's commitment to fighting against burglars, a priority that is reflected in their motto, "safe is safer." The Bielefeld Police Department encourages all residents to maintain security-conscious behavior and make use of mechanical security technology, such as security bars and additional locks, to protect their properties.

The Bielefeld Police Department understands that every citizen plays a crucial role in preventing burglaries. They advocate for vigilance and a culture of looking out and acting, emphasising that well-secured doors and windows can deter potential burglars, as they take time and make noise to force open.

For those seeking advice on suitable security alternatives for their homes, the Bielefeld Police Department is available to help. Citizens can reach out to them at 0521/5837-2555. The department also encourages the installation of certified security technology to secure potential weak points of houses and apartments, such as doors, windows, balcony or terrace doors, and basement accesses.

The Bielefeld Police Department publishes a weekly map of burglaries on their website, providing transparency and allowing citizens to stay informed. This map can be found at https://bielefeld.polizei.nrw/artikel/einbruchsradar-karte-zur-wohnungseinbruchskriminalitaet.
