The Crime Prevention Association of Gießen is inviting everyone to participate in the 2026 Crime Prevention Award, a prestigious event aimed at recognising efforts against crime and violence in the community.

The jury for the award includes high-ranking members such as Landratin Anita Schneider and Mayor Frank-Tilo Becher. The award is supported by the district of Gießen, the city of Gießen, the Police Presidency of Central Hesse, and the State School Office.
The 2026 award is endowed with 1500 €. To apply, a brief description of the project, not exceeding one A4 page, is sufficient. Applications and nominations can be sent via email to info@kriminalpraevention-our website.
The deadline for applications from individuals and groups is December 31, 2025. The award aims to highlight the actions taken in the region and showcase the positive impact they have on the community.
