Overview
- Hamburg police confirmed they will deploy several drones for targeted, dynamic monitoring across the city on Halloween night.
- The aerial units replace prior mobile video surveillance used in areas such as Harburg and will complement routine patrols.
- Resources include support from the state riot police with planned presence in Harburg, Wilhelmsburg, Billstedt and Steilshoop.
- Police note prior drone experience in traffic monitoring and detecting red‑light violations informs the new deployment.
- Drivers are urged to take extra care in the evening because costumed children and teenagers can be harder to see in the dark.
