Potential for violence is increasing noticeably - as shown by a recent SRF report
According to a recently published SRF article, the Federal Office of Police (fedpol) warns of an increase in the willingness to use violence against state authorities. The focus is particularly on so-called state objectors - individuals or groups who do not recognise the legitimacy of state structures.
This movement has gained strength since the coronavirus pandemic. In practice, this manifests itself in the form of intimidation, threats, acts of sabotage and even violence. Municipal administrations, social welfare offices and other public bodies that are in direct contact with citizens are particularly affected.
One prominent case: a municipal employee in the canton of Zurich was abducted in 2023 by a suspected state denier. The Federal Office of Police explicitly warns of the security risk posed by these groups, some of which are armed.
How can authorities prepare effectively?
Such incidents show: Even in a stable constitutional state like Switzerland, emergency and crisis preparedness cannot be left to chance. Digital solutions are needed to keep state institutions capable of reacting and communicating in critical situations.
With e-mergency, administrations and authorities benefit from a tried-and-tested emergency and crisis management solution:
- Rapid alerting in an emergency - via SMS, voice call, email or push message
- Targeted communication to defined crisis teams or entire locations
- Instructions for action at the touch of a button, even in the event of an IT failure
- Multi-client capable & data protection compliant - developed & operated in Switzerland
- Easy to use and customisable
This makes e-mergency a reliable response to an increasingly complex risk landscape - from the potential for violence by individuals to the coordination of major crisis situations.
