Thefts can now also be reported online. Interior Minister Karl Nehammer (ÖVP) spoke of “a sign of the progress of digitization in the Austrian police”. The possibility of electronic reporting is a relief to those affected, but it does not mean “that the investigative activity loses the necessary thoroughness and intensity,” Nehammer said.
Access to the virtual screen, which saves you from having to go to the police station, is through the website oesterreich.gv.at. The following requirements must be met to be able to file a report from home via PC: the crime scene must be in Austria, the perpetrator must be unknown, the complainant must also be the victim, and there must be no other injured parties. A citizen card or mobile phone signature is also required.
Online complaint in Vienna goes to the responsible police station
The online report is automatically sent to the responsible police station or, in Vienna, to the responsible police station. If ‘unknown’ is selected as the crime scene on the online form, it will be sent to the office at the stolen person’s primary residence.
If the police need to intervene immediately, for example in the event of imminent danger, or if evidence needs to be secured, such as in the case of a break-in, no online report can be made. Filling out and submitting the online form for joke and frenzy will be punished and punished, warns the Ministry of the Interior.
