Marktgemeinde Hard vs Hudson

Informations

The municipal security guards (German: Gemeindesicherheitswachen) existing in about 40 Austrian municipalities are police forces besides the Austrian Federal Police. They may also be called city security guard (Städtische Sicherheitswache), municipal police (Gemeindepolizei), local police (Ortspolizei) or city police (Stadtpolizei).

The larger of these forces form municipal guard corps (Gemeindewachkörper; official translation: municipal constabularies) with competences equal to the Federal Police. Some municipalities including most statutory cities are not allowed to maintain a guard corps.
