history

On May 11, 1946, the State Identification Office was founded on the basis of Order No. 59 of the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior with its headquarters in the Palais Dürckheim in Munich. In the same year it was renamed Central Office for Criminal Identification, Police Statistics and Police Intelligence in the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior. In 1949 it was renamed the Central Office for Criminal Identification and Police Statistics of the State of Bavaria. In 1952 the last name was changed to the Bavarian State Criminal Police Office. In 1953 the Presidium of the Land Police was incorporated into the LKA. In 1968 the 468 employees moved into the new building at Maillingerstraße 15 ( Marsfeld ). On May 12, 1972, the terrorist organization Red Army Faction carried out a bomb attack on the headquarters in Munich . A car bomb injured five police officers and damaged several police vehicles .

The Bavarian State Criminal Police Office was the first among the state police to pass the 100,000 data records sent for the DNA analysis file . As of June 2007, this corresponds to a rate of 21% of all processes. Based on the data, 5,385 crimes have so far been solved, including 74 murders and 186 sexual crimes in Bavaria.
