After riots in Lausanne How demonstrations can remain peaceful: the police in the Wadden Sea learn from Zurich

This involved deploying Zurich-based officers during the Lausanne demonstration, where they engaged directly with protesters to explain police actions and deescalate tensions. The initiative has received positive feedback, with officers noting improved cooperation and understanding between different regions.
