The Baden-Württemberg Police is the state police of the German state of Baden-Württemberg with over 30,000 civil servants and collective bargaining employees, including around 24,000 police officers . In addition to the police enforcement service , which falls within the remit of the state police, there are also so-called police authorities in Baden-Württemberg .

history

Community Police in the American Zone of Occupation

After the capitulation of the German Reich in 1945, the American occupying power initially took over the exercise of all state power in the territory of the state of Württemberg-Baden . Municipalities with more than 20,000 inhabitants were obliged by the military government to set up their own municipal police , which was part of the municipal administration , to ensure internal security . The state police were set up for communities under 5,000 . This was subordinated to the Ministry of the Interior , was headed by the head of the state police department and was divided into the uniformed police, an economic department and a crime department. Municipalities with between 5,000 and 20,000 inhabitants were allowed to decide whether their area should belong to the area of ​​responsibility of the state police or whether the municipality carried out the enforcement service through its own municipal police. The uniforms of the city or community police differed in badges and in color (blue instead of green) from those of the state police . The city and community police also performed the duties of the public order office .

By order of the US military government , the powers of the newly established police were initially limited to individual police duties. The use of stronger means of power was initially reserved for the military government, which is why riot police units or similar forces were not allowed to be held. It was not until October 27, 1950, that the Allies , the Federation and the Länder agreed in an administrative agreement that the Länder were allowed to set up riot police as special police units as part of the progressive transfer of sovereignty back to the young Federal Republic to independently ensure internal state security, independent of the existing forces in the police force .

Nationalization of the municipal police

The police law in the federal state of Baden-Wuerttemberg , formed in April 1952, only allowed cities with more than 75,000 inhabitants to set up their own municipal police enforcement service. Only Karlsruhe , Mannheim , Stuttgart and Pforzheim made use of this option . The other city and community police in Baden-Württemberg were dissolved and the police force was transferred to the state police. However, even in the four major cities mentioned above, the reimbursement of costs for the municipal police forces was insufficient, so that in the 1960s the cities made efforts to return the police completely to the state of Baden-Württemberg. At the beginning of the 1970s, the federal government also called for the end of the municipal police force for security reasons . With the nationalization of the police in Mannheim in 1972 and in Stuttgart in 1973, the municipal interlude of the police in Baden-Württemberg ended again.

Administrative reform in 2005

On January 1, 2005, the organization of the police was fundamentally changed as part of the administrative reform . The previously independent regional police directorates (LPD) Freiburg , Karlsruhe , Stuttgart I and Tübingen were as department 6 in the respective regional councils incorporated. The heads of the state police departments were previously head of division in the regional council. The regional councils carried out the technical and service supervision of the subordinate police departments in the urban and rural districts. The State Police Stuttgart II, which only in the urban district was responsible Stuttgart, became the police headquarters Stuttgart , which reports directly to the Ministry of the Interior of Baden-Wuerttemberg was assumed. The motorway police departments were dissolved. From now on, their tasks were carried out on a decentralized basis by the police headquarters and police headquarters themselves. The traffic police station in Tübingen, which only existed in the area of ​​the LPD Tübingen and carried out the tasks of the traffic police in the entire service district, was also dissolved and its tasks were transferred to the police headquarters, as was customary in the other districts.

Furthermore, the water police inspections, which had the line over one section each ( Rhine , Neckar and Lake Constance ), were dissolved. The Karlsruhe regional council took over the tasks of the water protection police directorate at the Mannheim headquarters . The water protection police stations and posts previously subordinate to the respective departments as well as the motorway police stations were subordinated to the directorates and praesidia. The economic control service was completely dissolved and its tasks transferred to the city and rural districts .

Police structural reform 2012

The start of the police structural reform 2012 project was announced at the end of September 2011. At the end of January 2012, Interior Minister Reinhold Gall presented a key issues paper on a possible fundamental structural reform of the police in Baden-Württemberg. Instead of the previous 37 police departments and police headquarters corresponding to the city and districts, a reduction to twelve regional police headquarters based in Mannheim , Heilbronn , Karlsruhe , Ludwigsburg , Stuttgart , Aalen , Reutlingen , Ulm , Offenburg , Freiburg im Breisgau , Tuttlingen and Konstanz was proposed. In addition, the establishment of the police headquarters was planned, to which, in addition to the operational units of the riot police, the special units , the helicopter squadron and the water police should be subordinated. Furthermore, the establishment of a Presidium for Technology, Logistics, Operations Support and a Presidium for Education and Personnel Recruitment were suggested. For the criminal police, the key issues paper provided for a breakdown into twelve regionally competent criminal police departments, each with eight task-oriented criminal inspections and their own permanent criminal duty. The criminal police departments should be attached to the twelve police headquarters. The previous structure of 150 police stations and around 360 police posts should be left unchanged.

At the end of March 2012, Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann , Finance and Economics Minister Nils Schmid and Interior Minister Reinhold Gall presented the area layout for the service districts of the future police headquarters. This was taken over from the key issues paper, the seats of the planned twelve criminal police departments were also announced. These should have their seat in Böblingen , Esslingen am Neckar , Freiburg im Breisgau , Friedrichshafen , Heidelberg , Heilbronn , Karlsruhe , Offenburg , Rottweil , Stuttgart , Ulm and Waiblingen . In addition, locally responsible criminal investigation offices were provided at all seats of the former police headquarters or police headquarters.

At the beginning of June 2012, the twelve locations of the future traffic police departments were announced, which should also be subordinate to the regional police headquarters and in the future should take over the traffic police tasks from the police stations centrally. Provided were official offices in Baden-Baden , Freiburg , Heidenheim an der Brenz , Karlsruhe , Kirchberg an der Jagst , Mannheim , Sigmaringen , Stuttgart , Stuttgart-Vaihingen , Tübingen , vineyard and Zimmern ob Rottweil . At the end of July 2012, an additional location for a detective commissioner's office in Bruchsal and the locations of the 14 planned traffic commissariats in Heidelberg , Walldorf , Tauberbischofsheim , Pforzheim , Aalen , Backnang , Offenburg , Esslingen , Mühlhausen im Täle , Laupheim , Weil am Rhein , Waldshut-Tiengen , Mühlhausen-Ehingen and Kißlegg published.

In mid-December 2012, the state government of Baden-Württemberg finally approved the police reform. The reform costs were put at 123 million euros. In addition to a significant reduction in the number of locations, a socially acceptable restructuring was postulated as the aim of the reform. In addition, the management level of the police should be streamlined and more staff should be deployed “on site” in the districts and posts. 620 posts in the law enforcement service and 240 posts in the non-enforcement service should be made redundant in order to strengthen patrol services in particular . The opposition in the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg then put all reform goals to the test in numerous plenary debates , interior committee meetings and over 100 state parliament inquiries. In particular, the cuts, the implementation costs and the calculated reinforcement potential were questioned. From the perspective of the opposition, the police reform also represented a withdrawal from rural areas .

The conceptual and legal implementation of the police structural reform was planned for the first quarter of 2013. Overall responsibility for the project was transferred to the then Inspector of the Baden-Württemberg Police, Gerhard Klotter. In line with the required socially acceptable implementation, from mid-March 2013 all employees of the Baden-Württemberg police were able to communicate their usage requests, negative delimitations and personal or social concerns in an expression of interest procedure. 15,883 police employees took part and submitted one or more usage requests.

On 18 July 2013, the adopted state parliament of Baden-Wuerttemberg with the votes of the ruling coalition, the police structure reform law to implement the police reform. A few days later, the future police chiefs of the police headquarters were announced. With Wolf-Dietrich Hammann's move to the Ministry of Integration, the appointment of Gerhard Klotter as state police president and the appointment of Detlef Werner as the police inspector for the future police headquarters in Mannheim, a subsequent nomination became necessary. The police reform finally came into force on January 1, 2014, as a result of which the Baden-Württemberg police lost their previous three-tier organizational structure (state police headquarters - state police headquarters - police headquarters or police headquarters) in favor of a two-tier structure (state police headquarters - police headquarters).

On January 15, 2014, the appeal of nine police presidents and another 14 executives was declared null and void by the Karlsruhe Administrative Court . The Ministry of the Interior waived a complaint and re-advertised the positions.

Correction of the 2017 police reform

Sleeve badge of the Baden-Württemberg police

At the beginning of 2017, several proposals to correct the police structural reform of 2012 were discussed. Due to the sometimes long travel times to traffic accidents due to the bundling of the traffic police at twelve regionally responsible locations, a project group set up by the green and black state government suggested streamlining the police headquarters by dissolving the traffic police headquarters. The tasks of the traffic police are to be transferred again to the police stations on a decentralized basis.

In addition, there was a discussion about the number and service districts of the regional police headquarters. While the CDU parliamentary group in the Baden-Württemberg state parliament and a group of experts preferred an expansion from twelve to 14 police headquarters, the Greens initially retained the previous structure with twelve police headquarters . Finally, in July 2017, a compromise was reached that included the dissolution of the previous Presidium in Tuttlingen , the establishment of two new Presidiums in Ravensburg and Pforzheim and thus the expansion to 13 regional police headquarters. According to estimates, the proposed corrections would cost around 72 million euros and met with some sharp criticism from the opposition in the state parliament and the German Police Union (DPolG). The DPolG fears, among other things, a noticeable deterioration in security in Baden-Württemberg.

The mission is to ensure public safety and order . As a law enforcement authority , it takes action against unlawful and criminal acts, identifies offenders and analyzes patterns of crime. Another task is to avert danger in the area of internal security , that is to say, the prevention or suppression of illegal acts of any kind. In the context of traffic monitoring, it regulates traffic flows and plays a key role in emergency assistance ( emergency calls ). Furthermore, the police, in close cooperation with authorities for crime prevention to possible offenses in advance to detect and prevent. For every discretion exercised by the police, the principle of proportionality from the Basic Law (GG) applies , which is reflected in writing in § 5 PolG.

In principle, the police authorities ( administrative police , § 60 Abs. 1 PolG) are responsible for averting danger , but not if the law enforcement service ("police officers in uniform or civilian clothes") can ward off the danger more effectively (§ 60 Abs. 2 PolG). At the same time, both the authority and the enforcement service are responsible for the tasks according to the paragraphs cited there in accordance with Section 60 (3) PolG. Furthermore, the police authority can issue instructions to the enforcement service (Section 74 (1) of the Police Act) and it must also provide enforcement assistance at the request of authorities and courts , provided that the special skills, knowledge or resources of the police enforcement service are required for this (Section 60 (4) of the Police Act). .

Legal bases

The police of the state of Baden-Württemberg, like every police in Germany, are part of the executive , more precisely, the intervention management . Therefore, every police action , according to the "principle of reservation of the law" from Article 20, Paragraph 3 of the Basic Law, always requires a legal basis, the so-called authorization basis (in contrast to benefit administration , there it is called the entitlement basis ). General legal bases can be found in the Police Act Baden-Württemberg (PolG). However, there are other special legal bases for them through police ordinances of the state of Baden-Württemberg (§§ 10 to 18 PolG), but also, for example, through federal law in the road traffic regulations (StVO) in conjunction with the road traffic law (StVG). The legal basis for criminal prosecution can be found in the Code of Criminal Procedure (StPO) and for administrative offenses in the Law on Administrative Offenses (OwiG).

The special (special) laws always apply before the general (general) laws ( Lex specialis derogat lex generalis). Therefore, the police must first apply authorization bases from special standards (e.g. StVO), then come to the standard measures in the police law (§§ 19 to 36 PolG), until they can finally fall back on the police general clause (§ 3 in conjunction with. Section 1 (1) sentence 1 PolG).

In addition, the police work closely with the judiciary and other authorities to prevent crime in order to identify and prevent possible criminal offenses in advance. For example, through traffic education at school, stands at trade fairs and events, and also through personal conversations.

Aircraft

The helicopter squadron of the Baden-Wuerttemberg Police is stationed at Stuttgart Airport with a branch at Karlsruhe / Baden-Baden Airport . Her tasks include searching for missing persons, looking for criminals, monitoring the environment and water, protecting the airspace and transporting special forces. Since 2016, the squadron has been equipped with six twin-engine H145 multipurpose helicopters from Airbus Helicopters , which were purchased for 60 million euros. They replace five machines of the type McDonnell Douglas MD 902 Explorer and two Eurocopter EC 155 , which were purchased between 2001 and 2003. In accordance with a requirement of the State Audit Office, only one type is used to reduce maintenance costs.

The squadron was founded in 1965 with Alouette II helicopters . This was followed by Bölkow Bo 105 , Bell 212 and BK 117 . The Bell 212 was damaged in a crash landing at Stuttgart Airport in 1998, in which, among others, the then Minister for Economic Affairs, Walter Döring , suffered injuries. A machine of the type MD 902 Explorer was lost in a crash in 2011.
