Recognition and thanks to the heroes of everyday life: the coveted prizes were awarded to outstanding law enforcement officers in eight categories, including the coveted "Police Officer of the Year" trophy, which was voted for by "Krone" readers. Our warmest congratulations!

For the 17th time, police officers were honored for their exceptional achievements at Vienna City Hall. The glittering gala, which traditionally takes place on March 13, is a sign of thanks and recognition from the City of Vienna and the Vienna Police Force.  

The "Oscars of the Executive" were awarded in six categories and two special awards - to the applause of the 500 invited guests. These included the Police Officer of the Year, voted for by "Krone" readers. The coveted trophy went to control inspector Michael Landsmann from Floridsdorf, who beat off competition from five other fantastic finalists. 

The 35-year-old from the Ziegelofenweg police station made a spectacular drug find that led to the dismantling of a drug ring. More than 50,000 "Krone" readers voted for Landsmann in the online poll. The honoree was delighted: "I am overwhelmed. This is a total honor for me. Thank you very, very much!"

The awards were presented by Mayor Michael Ludwig (SPÖ), Interior Minister Gerhard Karner (ÖVP) and Police Chief Gerhard Prüstl, among others. The politicians paid tribute to the outstanding commitment of the nominees and all of their colleagues. Their daily work has made a significant contribution to Vienna being voted the most liveable city in the world on several occasions. 

We would also like to say thank you and congratulate all the winners!
