Stanislavs Šeiko visits Community Policing Department of Salzburg and Master Program Social Inno-vation, Salzburg University of Applied Sciences (FHS)

On Tuesday 21 May 2024 the team of Salzburg University of Applied Sciences (FHS) had the pleasure to welcome the IcARUS colleague Stanislavs Šeiko, Head of Strategic Planning of Riga Municipal Police. He is responsible for the Riga police contributions of IcARUS and the elaboration of the innovative intervention “Par drošu Rīgu” (For safe Riga).

During the morning Stan Šeiko and Heiko Berner from FHS visited “the other Salzburg”: several social service providers which are active in one of the less wealthy parts of the city.

Later the same day Stan and Heiko had the opportunity to exchange with the community policing department of Salzburg “Gemeinsam.Sicher”. The colleagues from the municipal police – namely Christoph Kraler-Bergmann – invited them to visit their head quarter and presented the concept of community policing in Salzburg. They were quite interested in the Riga situation and the answer that the intervention “Par drošu Rīgu” (For safe Riga), elaborated in IcARUS, offers.

Finally, Stan presented the IcARUS tool to the students and professors of the master program “Social Innovation” of Salzburg University of Applied Sciences – a contribution that was highly appreciated from the Salzburg team.
