Visitation Zones allow police to frisk all individuals who may move or stay in these zones, even without concrete suspicion. The visitation covers the individual's clothing and vehicle. We hope it can serve as a deterrent and help to create security, said Michael Flemming Rasmussen, chief police inspector for Funen and Stripes.

Thrige Gade * St. Canute Place * Klosterbakken * Filosofgangen * Søndergade * New Vestergade * Pantheoensgade * Vindegade * Kongensgade * Crossed: Eastern / Western Stationsvej / Rugårdsvej * Banegårdspladsen / Odense Central Station * Adam Street Source: Funen Herald-Tribune
