Rüsselsheim's 'Do Something' campaign calls for civic courage to fight crime
Rüsselsheim has relaunched the 'Do Something' campaign to boost civic courage and improve public safety. The initiative, part of the KOMPASS prevention programme, encourages residents to take action when witnessing suspicious behaviour. Local police and city officials are actively promoting the effort across the community.
Senior police commissioner Judith Schwarz and downtown manager Patrik Philippi recently placed campaign posters in shop windows around Löwenplatz. The materials highlight the 'Six Rules of Civic Courage' and urge bystanders to intervene safely, with slogans like Help, but don't put yourself in danger and Call the police at 110.
The campaign seeks to strengthen cooperation between citizens, police, and local authorities. By increasing social vigilance, organisers hope to deter crime and create a greater sense of security. Rüsselsheim Police Station officers and city administrators are leading the push, building on previous implementations of the initiative. Residents with questions can contact the Police Headquarters South Hesse Press Office. Details include Klappacher Straße 145, 64285 Darmstadt, phone +49 6151 / 969 - 13110, mobile +49 172 / 309 7857, or email [email protected].
The 'Do Something' campaign continues its focus on mutual awareness and proactive behaviour. Posters and police engagement aim to remind the public of their role in maintaining safety. Organisers will monitor its impact on crime prevention and community cooperation.
