On Saturday, August 23, 2025, the Vienna State Police Directorate invites children and parents to the final event of this year's "WienXtra Holiday Game." From 1 PM to 6 PM, the police service dog unit (PDHE) will be the focus at Hofherr-Schrantz-Gasse 6 (1210 Vienna). Admission is free, and no registration is required.

Police Dogs in Action

Visitors will learn how the four-legged colleagues of the Vienna Police solve crimes, search for missing persons, and apprehend criminals. In demonstrations, the service dogs will also show obedience exercises and their ability to detect hidden objects.

In addition to the PDHE, the children's police, "Gustav, the talking patrol car," and a police motorcycle are part of the program. The special unit WEGA will also present a weapons and equipment show. For the younger guests, there will be face painting, a bouncy castle, and other interactive activities.
