"So, what's going on here" — that one calm line is Deniz Aslan's stock-in-trade on patrol for the Vienna Police, Ottakring precinct. Raised in Favoriten, son of a tailor, a Viennese through and through and a Rapid fan since childhood. At the Vienna Derby in the Block West he shouts louder than any drunk — and at Sunday lunch, when Julia shows him the first ultrasound pictures, every bit of restraint drops away for a moment.

Tech affinity

Moderately low — rock solid on duty with radio, body cam, and the digital reporting system, because they're his daily tools. Privately more pragmatic: a basic standard smartphone, little interest in the latest tech — except for his garage hobby, where he'll spend hours digging through forums for the right old spare part.

Defining bias

Once he forms an initial read of a suspicious situation, he unconsciously looks for confirmation rather than for evidence against it — a first impression, once formed, shapes the check that follows more than he'd admit himself.

How he decides

On duty fast and pattern-based, drawn from years of experience rather than any textbook — he reads a situation before he's even finished thinking it through. On private decisions like the apartment or bigger purchases, by contrast, deliberately slow — he talks them over with Julia and always sleeps on it at least one night.
