Details
How can young talents be recruited for the police force? The Vorarlberg State Police Directorate has enhanced the nationwide recruiting campaign with a regional initiative: "Dein Einsatz fürs Ländle." The goal is to strengthen ties to Vorarlberg, lower application barriers, and feature real police officers as ambassadors. The police profession is presented as a meaningful role with exciting challenges and development opportunities. The campaign has been running since April 2023. The number of applicants has quadrupled.
