Last year, 3.9 million emergency calls were received at the numbers 112 (European emergency number) and 133 for the police in Austria.
This corresponds to a decrease of more than twelve percent compared to the previous year with around 4.4 million emergency calls. The Ministry of the Interior released the corresponding figures on Monday in advance of the "European Emergency Number Day" on February 11. According to this, nearly 1.36 million operations were registered last year as a result of an emergency call.
Emergency Calls: About One Third Usually Lead to Police Deployment
About one third of the calls usually lead to a police deployment, according to the ministry. It was noted that last year "a focus was placed on patrol activities and presence in public spaces." Therefore, a slight increase in deployments is recorded.
