NRW Schools Test Police Dialogues to Curb Violence and Build Trust
The initiative is being rolled out in ten police districts, including Mönchengladbach. Two schools in each district have been chosen for the pilot, though their names have not been made public. Officers will be present on school grounds twice a week during morning breaks.
The pilot will run in twenty schools across the region. If successful, the model could be expanded to more districts. The focus remains on early intervention, education, and fostering better relationships between students and law enforcement.
