Georg Schertz (born April 24, 1935 in Berlin ) is a German lawyer . From 1987 to 1992 he was police chief in Berlin.

Schertz completed a law degree in Berlin and initially worked as a judge. In 1973 he became vice-president of the district court in Berlin and in 1987 police president, first of Berlin (West) and, after the political change, of all of Berlin.

In November 1990, Schertz was responsible for organizing and carrying out the clearance of Mainzer Straße , which caused a sensation as one of the most massive police operations in Berlin in the post-war period .

In 1992 he resigned as police chief because of disputes with the then Interior Senator Dieter Heckelmann .

In 2003, Schertz got into an argument with his successor Dieter Glietsch , because he had the printing of an interview with Schertz in the police's internal magazine Kompass stopped.
