Brussels (Eurotoday): A new police post has been established at Brussels-South station to enhance safety after Prime Minister Alexander De Croo’s commitment. The post will operate from 3:30 AM to 1:45 AM, with a larger station planned for 2025.
A permanent police post has been set up at Brussels-South station to address rising concerns about safety in the area. The move follows a promise by outgoing Prime Minister Alexander De Croo after a major police operation in September 2023. As Belgium’s largest train station and a key international hub, the station has struggled with issues like pickpocketing and drug dealing, causing worries for commuters, tourists, and residents. The new police presence aims to improve security and restore public confidence.
What are the key safety measures being implemented around Brussels-South station?
The areas around Brussels-South station have serious problems, including visible poverty, which makes safety worse. Residents and businesses have been asking for stronger action against crime. The new police presence aims to provide a constant and visible response to help crime and make people feel safer. This plan hopes to make the station and its surroundings safer and more welcoming for everyone.
The police station at Brussels-South is open from 3:30 AM to 1:45 AM to handle reports of incidents in and around the station and on trains. For urgent help, people can call 101 or 112. The station is located between tracks 8 and 9, and during its first week, 95 reports were made there. In 2025, a new police station will open 500 meters away on Tweestationsstraat in Anderlecht, serving as the main base for the Brussels South police zone.

Looks like the Prime Minister’s “safety commitment” is just another fancy signpost at Brussels-South—because who wouldn’t feel safer knowing the police are taking shifts almost as late as the last train? 🚆😂
