Security-AG Initiative

Hello WEH,

there have been repeated incidents of unauthorized intruders in WEH engaging in several inappropriate activities inside of floor kitchens, floor restrooms and other semi-public areas.
In most cases, these individuals leave before the police can arrive.

Many residents feel unsafe due to these intrusions, so we want to take action.
The house speakers of all towers collected reports of these incidents and forwarded them to the Studierendenwerk a month ago and asked them to do something about these intruders.
However, we have not yet received a proper response…

If you witness any further incidents, please report them to us house speakers via email.
We are documenting all cases and considering possible measures.
It would be helpful if you could specify the exact location and time where these incidents occur.

If the STW does not provide an adequate solution to protect us from intruders, we may have no choice but to take action ourselves to ensure a basic level of security.
For this reason, I am considering setting up a “Security-AG” that would conduct regular patrols in all affected areas of WEH to identify unauthorized individuals early and escort them out of the building.

Since there is a risk that some intruders may be armed, patrols should always proceed carefully and in groups of at least 2 people.
A visible presence may help make the dormitory less attractive to nighttime intruders and discourage them from returning.
Once these intruders have been confronted a few times, they may start avoiding the towers, allowing us to reduce the number of patrols.

Before taking further steps, I would like to know if there is enough interest in this AG, so if you’d like to participate, please send a short reply.

XOXO
