Neumünster Police: Current operations and increasing youth crime!

The police in Neumünster published their current reports on accidents, crimes and other important events today, August 10, 2025. The police ticker provides a comprehensive overview of what is happening in and around the city, with all information about traffic, fires, missing people and violent crimes available. According to [kn-online.de], emergency behavior and first aid are also essential aspects that every citizen should know.

In Neumünster it is crucial to remain calm in an emergency. Citizens should call the emergency number 112 to request help from the police, fire department or emergency services. In addition, it is recommended to document the number of people affected and possible injuries and notify relatives if it is safe to do so. After the incident, those affected should also seek medical and psychological help if necessary.

An increase in juvenile crime

Another worrying aspect is the increase in crime among children and young people in Schleswig-Holstein. The 2023 crime statistics show that the number of young people suspected of crimes has increased by around 10% compared to the previous year. This was reported by NDR. What is particularly noteworthy is that Interior Minister Sabine Sütterlin-Waack (CDU) associates the increase with the consequences of the Corona years.

Despite an overall decline in crimes of 11.3% to 196,289 cases in 2023, the number of young offenders, particularly those aged 14 to 18, has increased by almost 10%. This leads to a ten-year high in the number of suspected children and young people. The reporting by [ndr.de] shows that preventive measures are urgently needed to counteract this development.

Special features in crime statistics

The current statistics also show that there was an increase of 16.3% in crime involving knives. In total there were 9 fatalities and a high number of injuries. Residential burglaries even rose by more than 22%, which is likely to increase the population's concerns. On the other hand, there were also positive developments, such as the 0.9% decrease in drug-related crime. This comprehensive information illustrates the complex situation in Schleswig-Holstein, whereby there is a clear need for action. The NDR points out that the police continue to rely on the participation of citizens, especially in the form of studies on crime perception.

Overall, Neumünster remains a place where safety and prevention must be the top priority. The police work continuously to inform the public about current developments and to ensure that everyone is able to act correctly in an emergency. Readers are urged to be vigilant and to act promptly if criminal offenses are suspected.
