State Police (Germany)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

State police in Germany is the collective term for the entirety of all police authorities of a country in the area of ​​responsibility of the respective interior ministry or the interior authority of the city states, in other words for all police forces of a country.

Legal basis

According to the Basic Law , the police, like the exercise of all state powers, is basically a matter for the Länder, cf. Art. 30 GG. Organization, tasks and powers are primarily regulated in the police laws of the federal states, in some countries the former is the subject of a separate police organization law.

organization

The federal states have largely nationalized what used to be the communal police force, which means that they carry out the police tasks largely through state authorities themselves. Insofar as there are also municipal police forces, these do not belong to the state police any more than quasi- police authorities .

The state police in every country includes the law enforcement service , ie what is commonly understood today as “the police”. In any case, its tasks include the protection police and the criminal police . The demarcation of the two areas, as well as the subdivision of the police force, is very different from state to state, for example with regard to the relationship between the water police and the rest of the police or the organization of the traffic police and the motorway police . The motorway police are part of the traffic police in many countries.

Furthermore, training and further education facilities as well as, if necessary, a police administration office and the riot police belong to the state police.

After all, there is a State Criminal Police Office in every country , whose organizational relationship with the criminal police is also different.

The following table provides an overview of the state police forces in place in Germany. Details can be found in the article about the respective national police.
