Around 550 police officers meet on average on a normal night in Vienna. There were about 1,000 after the terrorist attack, with four killed and more than 20 injured on Monday night or Tuesday night. About 150 officers volunteered to help. The special situation posed a huge challenge not only for dispatchers at the state control center.

The Viennese police receive 3,000 to 4,000 emergency calls every day, leading to 1,100 to 1,200 operations. There were 540 emergency calls only on Monday between 8 pm and 9 pm Due to the chaotic situation, many policemen were perceived by the population as possible terrorists and reported to the emergency number. As a result, many officials were tied up.

With hundreds of emergency calls, dozens of patrol units and information changing every second, this is of course an exception. absolute, “recalled the district inspector of operations and emergency calls Christian H. Weekend in front of the APA. “Many of the radio station colleagues were under power for hours; it only got a little quieter at midnight for the first time,” added colleague Thomas F.
