High-ranking visitors came to Schuir for the launch of the new police station at Theodor-Althoff-Strasse 4.
The Minister of the Interior of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Herbert Reul, and the Mayor of Essen, Thomas Kufen, attended the opening of the new Polizeiinspektion in the former Karstadt headquarters. Around 700 employees from Polizeiinspektion 2-South, the police task force and several criminal investigation departments will find a new, modern workplace in Schuir.
Despite strict hygiene measures and tropical temperatures, the "model police station", as Herbert Reul called it, was duly inaugurated and is now also available to citizens around the clock.
