Action week against track trespassing

27 April 2015

The Railway Police (SPC), the Belgian national railway company (SNCB/NMBS) and the Belgian railway infrastructure manager (Infrabel) want to put an end to the illegal trespassing of railway tracks. Three times a year, the SPC, Infrabel and Securail, the security department of the SNCB/NMBS group, organise a control week at national level to prevent people from illegally moving along tracks and to struggle against other irresponsible behaviours on tracks and level crossings. Local police zones and the Maritime and River police in port areas were also invited to take part in these control actions. Such action weeks also took place from 5 to 10 June and from 25 September to 2 October 2015. In 2015, police services wrote a total of 256 reports for offences of this type.
