On this episode of Connecting the Dots, hosts Marina and Henrik meet Dr. Christian Scharpf, Munich City Administrator and Head of the Department of Labor and Economic Affairs. Dr. Scharf, who is at the center of the city’s preparations for Oktoberfest, shares how Munich works year-round with partners like Securitas to create a safe and welcoming environment for millions of visitors. We talk about the systems behind the scenes, such as surveillance and crowd control, and how they’re designed to protect without disrupting the spirit of the festival. Dr. Scharf also shares his thoughts on inclusion, tradition, and how feeling safe helps people connect and enjoy the moment. Tune in for a conversation about how security helps make space for joy, connection and belonging. -----------------------------------------------------Connecting the Dots is the official Securitas podcast, an open dialog on how a secure world makes businesses, communities, and individuals thrive.
