Every year, the Federal Criminal Police Office publishes the police crime statistics, or PKS for short. With an increase of 5.5% in criminal offences (5.94 million in total), Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser wants to ‘tackle the social causes’. Good social and education policy is the most effective prevention, said Faeser on 9 April 2024 at the presentation of the PKS 2023.
In view of the fact that theft offences account for a third of all criminal offences (1.97 million), BURG-WÄCHTER advises people to take care of their personal security in a very practical way. With little effort, you can live more securely within your own four walls: for example, additionally securing doors, windows and especially balcony and patio doors or installing a surveillance camera in neuralgic areas. The secuENTRY smart door lock from BURG-WÄCHTER offers both security and convenience and also deters opportunist thieves. A certified safe for the most important files and personal valuables should be as much a matter of course as the fridge in the kitchen.
According to Dietmar Schake from BURG-WÄCHTER, it is not only the 18.1 % increase in domestic burglaries that shows that an investment in private security is worthwhile. What few people realise: 46.3 % of all domestic burglaries remain at the attempt stage - this underlines the importance of good prevention.
