Közterületfelügyelk

Közterületfelügyelő translates to public area supervisor or public space supervisor in English. This term refers to a type of law enforcement officer in Hungary responsible for maintaining order and enforcing regulations within public spaces. Their duties typically include overseeing the proper use of parks, streets, squares, and other public areas.

Közterületfelügyelők are tasked with preventing and addressing minor offenses such as littering, illegal parking, unauthorized vending, and disturbances of the peace. They often work in cooperation with the regular police force, handling issues that fall outside the more serious criminal jurisdiction of the police. Their primary goal is to ensure public spaces are safe, clean, and enjoyable for everyone.

The responsibilities of a közterületfelügyelő can vary depending on the specific municipality they serve, as local governments have the authority to define the exact scope of their duties and powers. They are trained to handle conflicts, issue fines for violations, and provide assistance to the public. Their presence aims to deter anti-social behavior and promote a sense of community responsibility.
