Copenhagen - Post Report Question and Answers
Are there personal security concerns to be aware of at this post? Please describe.
This is a very safe post. There is some bike theft and pick pocketing/purse snatching. - Feb 2022
It's a city so you shouldn't be flashing things around, but I feel safe enough to walk around with an iPhone in public. I wouldn't have done this at previous posts. - Jun 2021
There are some home burglaries, so use your house alarms and make sure to lock your doors. Keep your wallet secure, or someone will help themselves to it. There have been some issues with Americans being sought out and attacked. Use common sense and follow what you are told in the security briefing. - Jul 2016
None. A recent security notice from the Embassy warned of a demonstration held by something like 50 public school teachers protesting some issue - the teachers were on bikes, with children holding balloons, probably handing out free licorice while they went down the street. Ah, life in Denmark. - May 2014
No. Safer than any U.S. city I have ever lived in. - Feb 2014
None. - Aug 2011
Not really, just use common sense. Denmark is exceptionally safe. There was the occasional pick-pocket purse-snatcher, and I heard of nieghbors getting their homes broken into, but overall my family & I felt very safe. - Jul 2011
