The State Criminal Police Office of Saxony, like the Public Prosecutor's Office and the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution of the Free State of Saxony, are based in Dresden . It is located on Neuländer Straße in the north-western district of Trachau, directly on the outskirts of the city on a long plot of land between Neuländer Straße and federal motorway 4 , which it shares with the LfV Sachsen. It is just outside the Elbe valley on the edge of the Junge Heide . The Dresden- Wilder Mann motorway junction is located about 500 meters northeast of the LKA site . In emergencies, however, it is also possible to get directly onto the motorway in the direction of Bautzen / Berlin through a normally locked gate from the LKA premises .

The oldest buildings on today's LKA premises were built as police barracks as early as 1935. Between 1945 and 1954 it was used as a clinic for the physically handicapped. The buildings were then expanded and also used by the police in the GDR . In 1963 the officers' college for technical school readiness was established on the site, which in 1971 was elevated to the status of an officer college for the Ministry of the Interior Artur Becker - readiness for work. Since then, the officers of the "barracked units" of the MdI have been trained up to company commander level.

history

The State Criminal Police Office was originally founded as a result of an ordinance of September 15, 1922 and initially continued to exist after the Second World War . Only after the GDR administrative reform in 1952 and the associated dissolution of the federal states were the state criminal investigation offices dissolved and their tasks taken over by the central criminal investigation office of the GDR.

The Central Criminal Police Office lost its function with the entry into force of the Unification Treaty on October 3, 1990, but continued to exist as the Joint LKA of the New States until they had set up their own state criminal police offices. The construction of the LKA Sachsen started in May 1991. From December 1, 1991 it was operational. The first president was Peter Raisch . He came from the State Criminal Police Office in Baden-Württemberg and was already in charge of the development team. He remained in this position until he moved to the Hessian LKA . His successor was Paul Scholz from July 2004 until his retirement in March 2011. In April 2011 Jörg Michaelis took over the office. Patric Kleine has been President of the LKA Saxony since May 1, 2017.

Controversy

In 2004, during a search of the Kassler Hells Angels leader Michael S. confidential documents of the LKA Sachsen with the title "Rocker crime in the Free State of Saxony" were found.

In July 2011, it became known that the LKA Sachsen recorded the personal data (including names, addresses and dates of birth) from more than 40,000 people who used their mobile phones on February 18 and 19, 2011 in Dresden. The measure was criticized by numerous media and several politicians as being disproportionate. In 2013, the Dresden Regional Court ruled that one of these radio cell queries was illegal due to a formal error.

A participant in a Pegida demonstration approached a ZDF camera team in August 2018 . This was followed by a controversial police measure by the Saxony police in the course of which the camera team was held for 45 minutes by the latter and was unable to report. ZDF and several other institutions complained about this procedure. A little later it became known that the demonstration participant was Maik G., the auditor for white-collar crime at the LKA Sachsen. According to " Die Welt ", G. u. a. Expert opinion and appears for the LKA Sachsen in court proceedings. According to his employer, he took part in the Pegida demonstration on vacation.
