Citizens in Korbach surveyed: How safe do you really feel?
Something is happening in Korbach! The city has decided to actively involve the population in security issues. As part of the Compass program, a comprehensive citizen survey on the security situation is pending. Around 3,730 citizens aged 14 and over can look forward to receiving mail in the coming days and are invited to express their opinions and perceptions. The survey is being carried out in cooperation with the police and the Justus Liebig University of Giessen. The aim is to draw a precise picture of citizens' sense of security and to identify possible problems. HNA reports that the respondents are selected randomly.
The survey can be completed both online and in paper form, although the use of an access code is required for online participation. The questionnaire consists of ten pages and takes approximately 15 minutes. Everything remains anonymous; Participants can rate their sense of security in different situations. We also ask what challenges citizens experience in their community and what suggestions they have for improvement. The results will later be presented at security conferences and should serve as a basis for prevention work. Mayor Stefan Kieweg and head of the public order office Carsten Vahland underline the relevance of this survey for future security in Korbach.
Background and significance of the initiative
The decision to activate citizens and hear their voices was made by the city council in September 2024. This shows that Korbach takes the opinions and concerns of the population seriously. Kieweg emphasizes that personal feelings of security vary greatly and that targeted improvements are of great importance here. Any feedback can help increase a sense of security within the community and identify potential trouble spots.
In summary, this citizen survey not only offers a platform for citizens to present their views, but it also promotes trust in municipal structures. The city administration, supported by experts, wants to work actively on security. If you have any further questions about the survey, a contact person is also available to provide citizens with the best possible support.
