Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: Operational in the event of a lack of energy: the police draw up plans

Rostock (dpa/mv) - In the northeast, the police are also drawing up plans for possible energy shortages. "We also have to think about how our offices are heated," said Nils Hoffmann-Ritterbusch, inspector of the state police MV, on Wednesday at a press conference in Rostock. For weeks they have been working on a concept to ensure the operational capability of the police even in times of crisis. It's about the question, "what do we actually need to be crisis-proof," said Hoffmann-Ritterbusch.

He also cited supplying the police with petrol as an example, "so that our patrol cars can drive." Corresponding plans would be drawn up with all municipalities. He personally is more of an optimist and hopes that things won't get that bad. "That in no way absolves us from being prepared."
