Local police in Knokke-Heist will deploy additional officers next weekend, it announced on Wednesday. The police thus wish to redouble their efforts in terms of prevention and law enforcement over the weekend. From 28°C, the heat wave plan will be activated.
Tropical temperatures are expected next weekend. Traditionally, this rhymes with a large crowd by the sea. The local police in Knokke-Heist want to prepare for it. “We are deploying additional personnel and we have also requested support at the federal level,” explains the local police area chief of staff, Steve Desmet. In particular, the police will control incoming and outgoing traffic flows. “To do this, we will carry out targeted and highly visible checks. We want to be present. Unauthorized parking will also be controlled,” he added.
On hot days, the police usually expect a little more trouble. “We know from experience that on these days, our commune receives different crowds than normal. These are young people who come from the big cities and from the north of France. They do not always respect our standards and our values. That’s why we’ll pay attention to that.” In Knokke-Heist, for example, visitors are not allowed to walk around the city center in swimsuits. “Those who do so risk a fine. Penalties for noise pollution may also be imposed.”
