Baumesse Rheda-Wiedenbrück: Security for your home in focus!

From 7th to 9th of February 2025, the 24th construction fair takes place in Rheda-Wiedenbrück in the A2 Forum. Daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., visitors have the opportunity to find out about numerous topics related to building. Almost 220 exhibitors present their offer, and the event is therefore very interested. The district of Gütersloh is represented by the police security advisor, in particular by Uwe Arlitt and Guido Baratella, who offer advice on burglary protection at the booth.

Free advice aims to effectively protect homeowners and apartment owners against burglaries. Interested parties can also make an appointment for personal advice in their own living rooms, which is an additional advantage. The security consultants work closely with the district service officers of the Gütersloh police to ensure comprehensive and effective advice.

prevention measures and badges

Particular attention is paid to the possibility of obtaining a "prevention spake". This will be awarded when the security standards of the police are observed. In the district of Gütersloh there are already over 1100 "badges", which is above the nationwide average. District Administrator Sven-Georg Adenauer will welcome the visitors to the booth of the police in the exhibition halls and support responsible security education.

The need for such measures is underlined by the current burglar statistics in North Rhine-Westphalia: in the period from 2022 to 2023, there was a significant increase in burglar rates. While a total of 23,528 burglaries were registered in 2022, this number rose to 27.061 in 2023. This puts North Rhine-Westphalia at the top of the burglary statistics in Germany. At the same time, the number of dissolved cases rose from 3,385 to 3,616, but also the number of suspects increased, from 2,789 to 3,069 in the same period.
