Dortmund, 10.06.2025 – According to a study by the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), the number of rampages and threat situations has risen sharply in the last ten years. The number of reported rampages in Germany alone has almost doubled between 2010 and 2020. Events at schools and in public places are particularly worrying. Terrorist threats also increased continuously across Europe between 2015 and 2025, according to studies by the European Union, the Global Terrorism Database (GTD) and the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV). This is precisely what makes amok and threat situations the greatest challenges for emergency and rescue services around the world.

From June 26 to 28, 2025, 112RESCUE will present a unique range of information on the latest technologies and strategies for acting effectively and safely to protect the population in such situations. The importance of innovative tracking technology and the use of bodycams will be highlighted, as will the role of tactical medicine, which is becoming increasingly important. As a cross-industry hub, the trade fair brings together all the players involved under one roof and pools their expertise for the protection and safety of the population.
