SPG - Sicherheitspolizeigesetz
Together with Mag. Georg Gassner, and Matthias Metzl, LL.M., LL.B., I have written a book on the Austrian Security Police Act (Sicherheitspolizeigesetz, SPG), the Directive for Interventions by Members of the Public Security Services (Richtlinienverordnung, RLV), and the Weapons Use Act (Waffengebrauchsgesetz, WaffGG). The book provides an up-to-date and compact overview of the aforementioned laws.
It contains tables and graphs as well as numerous practical examples. Control questions at the end of each chapter facilitate the understanding of this area of law.
The book is ideal for exam preparation for police and law students. It is a perfect introduction not only for students but also for practitioners, especially those starting their careers.
Our book is available in the LexisNexis online shop.
