Kreishaus Northeim: Security service due to the risk of violence By: Niko Mönkemeyer Print At the entrance to the district house, visitors are received by employees of a private security service.© Mönkemeyer, Niko A private security service has been protecting the district house since 2019.The AfD doubts the official reasons and demands transparency.The district administration refers to prevention. The district of Northeim has been working with a security service for some time in order to be able to guarantee security in the district house and in particular smooth processes for public transport even at public meetings.The district administration has now informed all members of the district council. The AfD district parliamentary group took this as an opportunity to send an inquiry to District Administrator Astrid Klinkert-Kittel.The reasons for the use of the security service are questioned in the letter to the district council members.They are not suitable to permanently justify the commissioning of a private security service, the AfD writes and refers to the representation of the district, according to which the security service also helps to operate the stair lift and took on tasks in the context of fire protection. If it were really only about service and helpfulness, it would be the task of the in -house regulatory department to take on this task with its own staff, according to the AfD.There is much more suspected that "actually attacks or security -relevant problems have occurred that should not be named openly."Among other things, the AfD calls for all incidents of the past five years to be named in the district house. On the HNA request, the district administration announced that the private security service was already used in the district house in 2019.The reason for this is the increasing violence, which was directed against the entire range of the public service and ranging insults to property damage to threats and attacks such as psychological and physical violence.The increasing violence, also against employees of the district administration and the prevention as the primary goal of occupational safety, offer the basis for the use of the security service, emphasizes the district administration, and not a specific event. The district administration did not confirm rumors that there are even the threats of murder against employees of the immigration office and this is the real reason for the increased security measures."We do not comment on possible individual cases for reasons of protection for the employees," said a spokeswoman for the district. Each employer or employer must ensure the occupational safety of their employees, according to the district administration's statement.In the public service, violence against employees can occur at any time.
