Description
Austrian federal police forces announced their decision to hire 1,500 new employees in 2016. Taking into account retirements in the upcoming year 800 new jobs will be created all over Austria, but predominantly in Vienna. New employees will partly be police officers but also used for 'compensatory Schengen measures' (Ausgleichsmaßnahmen Schengen, AGM). AGM-officers are to compensate for the abolition of internal border controls due to the Schengen convention and to combat cross-border crimes, as the Federal Ministry for the Interior (Bundesministerium für Inneres, BMI) declared in an official statement (APA, 26.1.2016).
