Police HQ Recklinghausen Launches 'AnsprechBAR' Dialogue Series for Students
Police Headquarters Recklinghausen is launching a new round of 'AnsprechBAR - the police gives out information', a dialogue series aimed at young thugs. Starting on September 18, 2025, at the Paul-Spiegel-Berufskolleg in Dorsten, the event will travel to various schools in the district and the city of Bottrop until early October.
The AnsprechBAR initiative uses an Airstream trailer and interactive formats to engage young people in discussions about important topics. Students can talk to police officers, ask questions, and learn about online dangers, knife violence, radicalization, and civil courage. The series aims to enlighten about digital crime, prevent violence and radicalization, promote media competence, and build trust between police and young thugs.
The event will visit the Berufskolleg in Bottrop on September 23, the Erich-Fried-Hauptschule and Erich-Kästner-Realschule in Gladbeck on September 24. However, a specific date for the event at Paul-Spiegel-Berufskolleg in Dorsten is yet to be announced. The police aims to move away from traditional marketplace visits, opting for a modern, interactive format to reach young thugs.
The 'AnsprechBAR' dialogue series is an innovative way for police to connect with young thugs, fostering open communication and understanding. By visiting schools and using interactive formats, the police hopes to educate, inform, and build trust with the next generation.
