The overall clarification rate is about 30%, although it fluctuates significantly in certain offenses: 7.9% in money theft and 89.8% in shoplifting, such as news.de reported.
These figures were recently presented at a press conference in Bad Schwalbach by police chief Felix Paschek and other responsible persons. Topics of the event included the development of crime in the region and the challenges with which the police are faced with. The media representatives discussed direct questions with the cables of the police directorate, including the police directorates in Hochtaunus, Limburg-Weilburg, Main-Taunus, Wiesbaden and Rheingau-Taunus, such as presseportal.de holds.
In order to ensure legal protection for citizens, it remains crucial that the population passes information on suspicious activities to the police. With a decline in burglary figures and a higher convict rate, future strategies of the security forces could be successfully implemented.
