Early 19th century to 1945

Seal mark of the Royal Bavarian Gendarmerie Company of Upper Bavaria

Until the creation of the modern police force, the term "policey" referred to any action by an authority, including in the administration ( police term ). With the establishment of a police force as such at the beginning of the 19th century in the Kingdom of Bavaria (1813 as the Royal Gendarmerie Corps ; part of the Bavarian Army until 1868 ), a restructuring of the areas of responsibility began. In the beginning, the police also performed welfare and administrative police tasks, but over the course of time, actions concentrated more and more on the control of society and its behavior.

By decree of October 11, 1812, the Bavarian gendarmerie was founded in 1813 . Following the example of France, this was distributed decentrally across Bavaria and organized militarily. Only in 1919 were all police forces detached from the military and at the same time subordinated to the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior. The police were now under civilian control by the state or by the municipalities. During the time of the Weimar Republic , the police units failed to protect the democratic structure of the state. An effective surveillance of society was guaranteed, however, because the police approached the population, resulting in the motto " The police, your friend and helper " .

In 1919/20 the Bavarian State Police was founded, a paramilitary organization with the main task of ensuring order at meetings and political events. So the Bavarian State Police stopped on 8/9. November 1923 the Hitler putsch , the "March to the Feldherrnhalle", by force. With the officers of the state police, the individual police service was also strengthened. Between 1923 and 1929 the municipal protection teams were nationalized.

After the takeover of the Nazis in 1933 all police forces were centralized in Germany. However, this had little influence on the area of ​​activity, because staff and skills remained the same. The Ministry of the Interior was still the highest service authority; the Bavarian Police were only subordinate to the Reich government in Berlin in organizational terms.

In 1935 the Bavarian State Police was dissolved and incorporated into the Wehrmacht . From 1939, police battalions were supposed to secure the occupied territories. Police units there also committed war crimes such as kidnappings and mass murders.

The Bavarian Political Police , from 1936 the Secret State Police , was separated from the state police association and merged into an independent association. This also went hand in hand with breaking away from all legal regulations. In the same year, a new police structure was introduced throughout the Reich. The uniformed protection teams, the gendarmerie, the small community police as well as the water, fire and air protection police were now absorbed in the order police . The Criminal Investigation Department formed in 1939 its own security police together with the Gestapo under the direction of the Reich Security Main Office in Berlin . The entire police apparatus was merged with the SS under Heinrich Himmler .

The abolition of the democratic constitutional state in the “Third Reich” enabled the police to work without being monitored by the judiciary . In fact, the police acted as henchmen for the National Socialists and helped to maintain the regime. Crimes such as the deportation of Jews or the persecution of “anti-social”, disabled and politically motivated people also occurred domestically under the abuse of the trust of the population (“ friend and helper ”) .

After the Second World War

After the end of the Second World War , the US military government initially dissolved all previous German police facilities in order to take over their tasks itself. In times of hunger, refugee flows and general need, gangs soon formed, armed robberies and stealing. Capital crimes could not be prosecuted. In general, crime was out of control. The American military police could no longer master this new situation on their own. The US military government therefore decided on June 29, 1945 that the Bavarian State Police had to be re-established. The new police force should be set up in a decentralized manner and under democratic principles. The first president of the Bavarian police was Michael Freiherr von Godin , who rebuilt the decided police organization after an instruction of April 24, 1946. Two types of police force have been established:

The rural police , principally responsible for the entire Free State of Bavaria, as well as the municipal police . Communities with over 5000 inhabitants had to set up their own police force. The Bavarian border police , the state identification office (later the Bavarian state criminal investigation office ) and a state police school were also established. The police were divided into 1900 police stations of the rural police and 150 municipal police.

In 1951 it was found that the separation of the state and municipal police was unsuccessful due to problems in cooperation. For example, the municipalities belonging to the district were offered in the Police Organization Act of 1951 to integrate the existing municipal police forces into the rural police upon request . From 1968 onwards, this offer also extended to municipalities not belonging to a district, which meant that soon afterwards only 33 of the former 150 municipal police forces still existed. On August 16, 1951, the first unit of the Bavarian riot police was set up in the Rebdorf monastery near Eichstätt .

When in 1951 the US occupation forces rejected the use of the former SS-Hauptsturmführer Leonhard Halmanseger, who had participated in the Reich Main Security Office in the fight against the political opponents of the Nazis, at the newly established Bavarian State Office for the Protection of the Constitution , referring to his past, the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior made this to an officer of the border police, but actually let him work for the protection of the constitution. Other, previously charged employees of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution also became official employees of the border police. Under the influence of the Cold War , the reservations of the US agencies against the experienced anti-communists were reduced, so that people like Halmanseger could now be transferred to the protection of the constitution.

In 1970 the police began to be restructured into regional protection areas. Police departments were set up for the individual areas, which are subordinate to the seven existing praesidia (see above). The aim of this reorganization was to combine the protection , traffic and criminal police on one level and to set up more efficient organizational units.

Founded in 1971: The PHuStBy (D-HBYA)

In 1971 the first police helicopter squadron of the Bavarian police was set up.

In 1972 the Land Police was officially renamed the State Police.

On October 1, 1975, the Bavarian Police was finally nationalized ; On this day, the Munich City Police was incorporated into the Bavarian State Police ( Police Headquarters Munich ) as the last municipal police force .

In 1987, support units were set up for the first time with the riot police; this was a reaction to the increasingly violent demonstrations against the reprocessing plant in Wackersdorf .

On March 1, 1990, women were hired for the first time in the uniformed police enforcement service; before that there was already a female criminal police (civilian) in Bavaria from the 1950s .

In 1998 the Bavarian border police was dissolved and incorporated into the state police. Border police inspections continued to exist in isolated cases, but they are no longer organized independently. The Bavarian Police first appeared on the Internet in November 1996.

The Bavarian security guard has been introduced across the board since 1998 , after the legal basis was created at the end of 1996 by the Security Guard Act. The first cities with a security watch in Bavaria were Nuremberg, Ingolstadt and Deggendorf. There are now security guards in 57 Bavarian cities.

In 2005 the regional protection areas were restructured. The police department (PD) level was dispensed with, the work (especially the operations center ) of the PDs was now taken over by the police headquarters (PP) and the police inspections . This reform was initially implemented on a trial basis at the Lower Franconia Police Headquarters and later at the Central Franconia PP.

In 2006, World Cup matches were held in Munich and Nuremberg . This has been one of the greatest challenges facing the Bavarian police since the 1972 Olympic Games . The police headquarters in Munich, as the leading agency, were assigned 40 deployment hun- dreds.

Reforms and changes in police law

As part of an organizational reform, the police headquarters and police headquarters levels were merged into operational sections. Ten new so-called protection areas were created throughout Bavaria . The police organization in Bavaria is thus divided into three levels:

  • Home Office
  • Protection areas
  • Police inspections or police stations with subordinate police stations

The reform was first tested in 2006 in Lower Franconia and Middle Franconia. The Munich PP followed in 2007; In 2009 the reform was fully completed across Bavaria. The previous tasks of the directorates were transferred to the new presidia. In addition, a new emergency call system was introduced as part of the reform , in which incoming emergency calls are received and forwarded centrally from an operations center and the necessary measures are taken. The aim was to " free the subordinate agencies from the task of monitoring emergency calls and alarms " .

Furthermore, in the course of the EU's eastward expansion, the previous border police inspections and stations were integrated into the Bavarian State Police. In a reform of the Police Organization Act, the possibility of setting up new offices has been deleted. The reason for this is that the borders of the European Union have shifted and the new accession countries are therefore responsible for controlling the EU's external borders.

"Bavaria is thus creating the legal requirements to be able to lift the systematic border controls at the turn of the year 2007/2008 ."

- Günther Beckstein, former Bavarian Minister of the Interior and Bavarian Prime Minister

In 2018, Prime Minister-designate Markus Söder announced that the Bavarian border police would be reintroduced. The new unit will be equipped with its own badge, consist of 500 officials and have 160 emergency vehicles. The head office is to be in Passau , from where the entire border protection to Austria is to be directed across Bavaria.

In 2018, the Bavarian State Government (CSU) implemented a reform of the Police Tasks Act which, in addition to implementing the EU General Data Protection Regulation, also included some adjustments to the powers, for example with regard to the handling of searches in cloud storage (which are increasingly being used instead of local storage media can be used to back up data) and the use of body cams , which will be introduced across Bavaria after the trial phase has been completed. The reform was publicly controversial, with the government complaining about the spread of false reports and untruths. Detention would continue to require a court order no later than the following day , and explosives such as hand grenades would be reserved for special units.

The fact that measures may be taken in the event of a so-called imminent danger in accordance with Art. 11 BayPAG, i.e. if “attacks of considerable intensity or impact [on significant legal interests] are to be expected in the foreseeable future”, has been anchored and based in the law since August 2017 to existing decisions of the Federal Constitutional Court. As a result of the reforms, however, some lawyers see the line between the police and the protection of the Constitution becoming increasingly blurred.

A constitutional complaint against automated number plate recognition in accordance with Art. 39 of the law was rejected by the BVerfG. However, the court had previously determined that the automated recording of license plates was only permitted within very narrow limits and that the provisions of the states of Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg and Hesse were partially unconstitutional.

assignment

tasks

The Bavarian Police, as the executive body of the Free State of Bavaria, has the task of ensuring public safety and order within the framework of police law . 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 internal security , that is to say, the prevention or suppression of illegal actions 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 work closely with the judiciary and other authorities to prevent crime in order to identify and prevent possible criminal offenses in advance.

Legal bases

For the area of ​​hazard prevention, tasks and powers to intervene result from the Police Act of the State of Bavaria, the Act on Tasks and Powers of the Bavarian State Police and the Bavarian State Penal and Ordinance Act (LStVG).

The task and the powers for criminal prosecution and criminal procedural measures etc. result from § 163 of the Code of Criminal Procedure . There are also assigned tasks , for example the respective local law .

organization

structure

The Bavarian Police are basically divided into three levels; the management of the border police is organizationally subordinate. The hierarchy levels are (structured from top to bottom):

The Bavarian Police is a substructure of the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior in Munich . This is the command and supreme service authority. The highest ranking police officer is State Police President Wilhelm Schmidbauer, Head of the IC (Public Safety and Order) department. The tasks and powers of the police are standardized in the law on the tasks and powers of the Bavarian State Police .

The organization of the Bavarian Police arises from the Act on the Organization of the Bavarian State Police (POG). Accordingly, the police are divided into the following areas:

Association badges of various Bavarian police associations as breast pocket badges (the badge of the border police is historical, meanwhile there is another badge for the management of the Bavarian border police and another badge)

The areas of responsibility of the regional councils are based on the Bavarian administrative districts . The PP Munich is an exception. As of June 1, 2008, the old PP Schwaben was split into PP Schwaben North and PP Schwaben South / West. Subsequently, on January 1, 2009, the PP Upper Bavaria was split into the PP Upper Bavaria North and the PP Upper Bavaria South. The PP Niederbayern / Oberpfalz, which is responsible for two administrative districts, was dissolved on June 1, 2009 and replaced by independent praesidia for the administrative districts of Lower Bavaria and Upper Palatinate. Subordinate to the - if still existing - directorates or - already reformed - police headquarters (new) are around 390 police, traffic police and criminal police inspections, police, water police and criminal police stations as well as border police inspections and stations (236 police stations, 32 criminal police stations, 26 border police stations ).

The Bavarian riot police are divided into seven riot police departments. The training for the 2nd qualification level takes place in the 17 training seminars. Furthermore, the riot police maintains 12 deployment hun- dreds to deal with larger police situations (for example accompanying demonstrations or the search of larger properties) or to support the state police (also outside of Bavaria and abroad). The units represent a mobile police reserve.

The Bavarian State Criminal Police Office is responsible, among other things, for combating serious crimes and organized crime . It also houses the central information and communication system of the Bavarian Police.

In addition to other organizational tasks, in addition to the offices of the state police, the Bavarian Police Administration Office has been responsible for the prosecution of traffic offenses since 2005 ; this is the case, for example, when issuing administrative fines . Centralizing the administration at two locations saved costs.

Bavarian Water Police :

The Bavarian Water Police is managed locally by the Central Bavarian Water Police Office at the Central Franconian Police Headquarters. It exercises technical supervision over the water protection police stations along the Main , the Main-Danube Canal and the Danube . Services that monitor the large Bavarian lakes are also supported.

Bavarian border police :

The Bavarian Border Police has been an association with its own badge since July 2018 and is managed by the Passau Border Police Department and subordinated to the Lower Bavaria Police Headquarters .

Recruitment

There are 29 advertising areas for new recruits, which are geographically distributed. These advertising areas are looked after by 1 - 4 (with the exception of Munich) recruitment consultants. Due to the high number of retirements and the increased need for security, 780 police students began their training with the Bavarian police on September 1, 2010. This was the record in the history of the Bavarian Police; exactly 100 times as many applications were received for the appointment. The number of applicants in 2012 was around 10,000 who passed the recruitment test for the 2nd qualification level. The number of applicants for the 3rd qualification level was around 1,900. In the years 2010 to 2015, more than 7,800 new employees were hired, and more than 1,400 police officers are planned for 2016.

On February 11, 2016, the Bavarian Minister of the Interior, Joachim Herrmann, launched a campaign to recruit the Bavarian police. Template: future / in 5 yearsMore than 10,000 police officers are expected to be hired by 2025 . More than one million euros is to be spent on this five-year campaign under the motto With Security Different . In this context, the new online applicant portal was launched in October 2016. From this point onwards, an application is only possible online at www.mit-sicherheit-anders.de. The Bavarian riot police coordinate recruiting, application procedures and recruitment.

The Bavarian Police have almost 8,000 company vehicles and mainly use vehicles from the Audi , BMW and Volkswagen brands as patrol cars . Civil vehicles in particular come from many different, even atypical manufacturers.

Current police cars are currently Audi A4 , Audi A6 , BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer , BMW 3 Series , BMW 5 Series , BMW X1 , BMW X3 , VW Touran and VW T5 / T6 . All-wheel drive vehicles such as the BMW X3 are also used in mountain regions . Since the beginning of 2006, many patrol cars have been leased through BMW Leasing GmbH . In the first half of 2006 alone, there were over 800 vehicles (mostly models from the BMW 3-series). Riot police uses vehicles of the brands Audi , BMW , Fiat , Ford , Mercedes-Benz , Opel , Land Rover and Volkswagen . Ford Transit (short), Mercedes-Benz Sprinter , VW T4 , T5 and T6 are used as (semi) group vehicles.

The patrol cars were delivered in the green-silver color scheme since May 5, 2003. In March 2015, the decision was made to introduce blue uniforms from the end of 2016 and to adapt the vehicles accordingly. The new emergency vehicles have been delivered in the blue-silver color scheme since September 2016. The acoustic Yelp signal , which is used to stop vehicles in front, has been integrated into the latest generation of vehicles.

Aircraft

The Bavarian police used u. a. Police helicopter of the type EC 135 .

The Bavarian Police have been using various multicopter systems since 2015 . So far, these have been used by the special units for operational support, searching for missing persons and locating cell phones. From January 2018, three more drones will be procured for the Nuremberg riot police, the Upper Bavaria North Police Headquarters at Erding Airport and the Southern Bavaria Special Forces in Munich in a one-year pilot test. The costs of the test operation are given at around 75,000 euros. The Bavarian Police now has a total of six multicopters. Their use is coordinated by a specially set up working group. The multicopters of the Bavarian Police are partly custom-made, equipped with high-resolution cameras and cost up to 40,000 euros.

communication

TETRA digital radio hand control on the dashboard of a police emergency vehicle

The nationwide introduction of digital police radio began in 2010, initially in the Munich Presidia, and later in Central Franconia, Upper Bavaria-North, Lower Franconia and Swabia-North. The Upper Palatinate network section was transferred to operational and tactical use in October 2015.

The network sections Upper Franconia and Lower Bavaria followed, then Upper Bavaria-South and Swabia-South. These last two network sections were launched in October 2015 (Upper Bavaria South) and December 2015 (Swabia South). The digital emergency radio of the police in Bavaria has been available nationwide since July 2016. The analog police radio will initially be retained as a fall-back level.

The Bavarian Police have been using an internal messenger service since May 2017 . To this end, by the end of 2017, all Bavarian police associations were initially equipped with 2,800 smartphones. Every police patrol has been equipped with the police messenger since 2018 . Better coordination of operations is expected through the direct exchange of text messages, photos, videos and locations. The nationwide first pilot test started at the police headquarters in Middle Franconia. The Messenger Teamwire is a product from Grouptime and is provided by Vodafone .

Armament

The standard weapon is the HK SFP9 . The police also have the Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine gun, the Heckler & Koch G3 rifle and the FN SCAR rifle at their disposal .

According to the amendment of the Bavarian Police Task Act on December 14, 2005, Article 61 of the PAG permits baton, pistol, revolver, rifle, submachine gun and hand grenade as well as “electro pulse devices and comparable weapons” as weapons of the Bavarian police. In Bavaria, Taser of the type X26 and the successor model type X26p from the American manufacturer Axon have been used by special forces since 2006. By 2015, 32 people had been shot at with stun guns in Bavaria. The Bavarian police are also checking the use of the stun gun in other police units. A working group was set up for this purpose. The Upper Palatinate Police Headquarters in Regensburg is in charge. Since mid-2018, the 13 support commands at the riot police and at the police headquarters in Munich and Central Franconia have been equipped with the taser in a one-year pilot test. The costs for this amount to around 100,000 euros at a unit price of around 1,500 euros. The use of the stun gun in individual police duties is currently not planned.

uniform

In 1972 the Bavarian police received new uniforms in moss green and beige , which the fashion designer Heinz Oestergaard had developed and which had been uniformly introduced in all German state police forces and the then Federal Border Guard from 1972 . In 2013 a project group was commissioned to develop a new uniform.

From August 2014 to March 2015, over 500 police officers across Bavaria tested different versions of the new uniform. When employees were surveyed, all uniformed police officers in Bavaria were able to vote on the color of their new uniform. In March 2015 the decision in favor of a future blue uniform was made. 84 percent of the approximately 27,500 uniformed police officers took part in the internal survey. Almost 69 percent were in favor of blue uniforms in the future. Procurement of the new police uniforms started in summer 2015.

The delivery for the Bavarian police began on December 2, 2016, and the officers from Erlangen-Stadt and Sulzbach-Rosenberg received the first outfits. Gradually, by the end of August 2018, all 27,500 uniformed police officers received the new work clothes. The total costs are estimated at around 33 million euros.

Statistics on clearance rate and traffic offenses

The clearance rate was 66.8% in 2017, with a crime rate of 4,868 crimes per 100,000 inhabitants and 4,533 foreigners without legal violations (so-called. Frequency digit ; figures from 2017). The Bavarian police thus achieved the highest clear-up rate within the German police force.

Joachim Kersten , professor at the police college in Münster, criticizes the fact that the police force can hinder ongoing investigations and that there is no real error culture with a structural basis in the police. In 2012, Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann presented a new concept in which internal investigations are to take place at two central locations (Munich for southern Bavaria and Nuremberg for northern Bavaria), which should ensure more transparency and acceptance. According to Herrmann, in order to ensure an even greater distance from the incident, these two central investigation centers have no longer been subordinate to the state police, but to the LKA since March 2013 .

The Bavarian police are known for consistently pursuing drug dealers and consumers. She is sometimes accused of overreacting, for example in 2014 when an unarmed drug dealer was shot while trying to escape. In 2012, the Munich police were also accused of harassing and humiliating suspected drug users ("unusual depth of control").

shift work

Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann is currently having new working time models drawn up by the Bavarian Police. The particularly stressful 12-hour shift work should no longer exist in the future. This is intended to implement a directive of the European Union that has required compliance with working hours since 2003: at least eleven consecutive hours of rest per 24-hour period and a maximum of 10-hour work during the day with a maximum weekly working time of 48 hours.

In a closed Facebook group called “concentrated shift Bavaria”, more than 5,000 police officers and police officers discussed the issue.

Others

The Bavarian Police are keen to establish close cooperation with the police in neighboring states to the east, among others. The reason for this lies in the cross-border crime that continues to harm Bavaria as a former border region of the EU. A significant proportion of normal and organized crime is committed by organized gangs from Eastern Europe. In response to this, the cooperation between the Czech police and the Bavarian authorities has intensified in recent years. Cooperation is being promoted in particular by the Bavarian State Criminal Police Office, as it is originally responsible for combating these forms of crime.

In addition, the Bavarian police cooperate with independent charities as part of the Munich support model against domestic violence .

The Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior are for staff on a quarterly basis , a staff magazine out. This bears the title Bayerns Polizei and is distributed free of charge to the police stations.

All police officers were equipped with bullet-proof vests until 2001 (“second chance”), which now have to be replaced due to quality deficiencies; at the same time the manufacturer was changed. Newly hired officials are equipped with Mehler vests from the outset .

The Bavarian Police maintains an (internal) intranet with access to Extrapol . Microsoft Windows XP has served as the operating system since around 2005 , and a switch to Windows 8.1 took place in 2014 . Similarly, can service forces on Microsoft Office 2013 draw.

Information about stolen objects, for example, can be posted on the website of the Bavarian Police; the police maintain a limited form of internet security and a deaf emergency fax.

In spring 2006, digital photography was introduced nationwide , although the criminal police have been equipped with it for a long time.
