The Grand Ducal Police have announced that they will increase patrols throughout Luxembourg during the Christmas market season, with the aim of maintaining a visible presence and deterring criminal activity at major festive events.
Officers will patrol key Winterlights sites in Luxembourg City, as well as the surrounding areas. Police deployments will be stepped up during peak hours – not only at the markets themselves, but also on public transport – in order to deter crime and reassure visitors. The police also remind the public that the police station on Rue du Fossé, in Luxembourg-Ville haute, has been staffed 24 hours a day since May.
Police will also boost their presence in and around Christmas markets across the country. Officers will work in close cooperation with event organisers and municipal officials to establish appropriate security arrangements, with the aim of ensuring the highest possible level of safety for all visitors.
The police are reminding the public that large gatherings and festive events can attract criminals, especially pickpockets. In response, officers are also providing practical security tips to help visitors protect their belongings while enjoying the Christmas markets.
