criticism

After the Castor mission in Ahaus (North Rhine-Westphalia) in 1998 , the North Rhine-Westphalian Interior Minister Franz-Josef Kniola wrote to the Berlin Interior Senator Jörg Schönbohm that the Berlin BePo officials deployed there had "careless, conceptless, unprofessional and above all aggressive behavior towards demonstrators" put on the day. Schönbohm rejected these allegations as "unfounded".

Officers from the Berlin BePo were also deployed to protect the Castor transport in Wendland in 2005. A conflict arose between these officials and officials from Lower Saxony, which resulted in a criminal complaint against a Berlin official.

The off-duty behavior of some of the officials deployed in Hamburg at the G20 summit in 2017 was criticized by both the media and the Hamburg and Berlin police leaders. In terms of discipline, this behavior had no consequences for the officers.
