Dortmund's safety improvements: mayor's role debated

Dortmund's new mayor, Alexander Kalouti, is credited with improvements in city safety and order, but the reality is more complex. While Kalouti has initiated actions with the police, the police chief states that such efforts are independent of the mayor's office. A recent survey was already in preparation before Kalouti took office. These developments reflect a broader trend in the city, with some initiatives already being implemented on the ground, suggesting a collaborative approach to addressing public concerns.
