Removal orders and area bans

Police officers or special investigating officers employed by the municipality of Kerkrade may, on behalf of the mayor, issue a removal order or impose an area ban on a person who commits criminal offenses or acts that disrupt public order.

This is done in the interests of public order, preventing or limiting nuisance, preventing or limiting damage to the residential and living environment, the safety of persons and goods, freedom of movement or safety, and health or morality.

Have you received a removal order? 

Then you must leave the area as indicated on the order issued. The order may be valid for 12 or 24 hours. You can see what falls within a certain area on the Maps this page.

If you do not leave, you will be guilty of a criminal offense and may be arrested. You will also be banned from the area for several days.

Have you been banned from an area?

You will then be prohibited from entering the specified area for a number of days. The decision you have received will state which area or areas are affected and for how many days. You must also leave the area immediately.

If you do not leave the area or enter the area within the specified period of the area ban, you are guilty of a criminal offense. You may be arrested for this. Violating the area ban will also result in a new ban, which will be added to the current area ban. Further violations will result in a long-term (usually several months) area ban.
