The Police of Saxony is the state police of the Free State of Saxony .

history

On January 31, 1765, Prince Franz Xaver of Saxony established the “Electoral Police Commission” for the area of ​​the state capital Dresden by an ordinance of the electoral court. In 1809 a " gendarmerie " was created, divided into districts . The "Landesgendarmeriekorps", which subsequently emerged from this, was, in contrast to other countries, not organized militarily, which meant a big step towards an independent police force close to the people. On November 1, 1810, under the leadership of two council members of the city of Leipzig, a "special police office" was created, which acted for the first time on a communal level. After the Napoleonic Wars , Saxony fell under Prussia's hegemony . As a result, the electoral police commission was dissolved in 1814. This will be replaced by the "City Police College". Through the work of King Friedrich August , a royal president was installed on December 2, 1817 , which marked the birth of a state police force. When the administration of the security police was taken over by the state on May 1, 1853, the "Royal Police Directorate Dresden" was established.

After the First World War , the state of Saxony was restructured. In 1919 the "State Security Police" was launched. During the Kapp putsch , the police proved to be a valuable tool. Nevertheless, on September 22, 1920, the state security police were replaced by the "state police". The police offices of the cities of Leipzig , Plauen and Chemnitz were also nationalized. In the crisis year 1923, due to strong actions on the part of extremists (see e.g. Hitler putsch ), a general state of emergency was declared in Saxony. The police were under military control under Lieutenant General Müller. The police force in Saxony was reorganized through the Protection Police Act of March 15, 1928. The individual directorates become a uniform organization. On September 20, 1928, the state police administration was dissolved, so that the Ministry of the Interior took over the administration. By a law of the Reich government on January 30, 1934, the sovereign rights of the individual countries were transferred to the state, which is why from April 1, 1934, the state police were under the direction of the Reich.

At the end of the Second World War on May 8, 1945, after the collapse of the former police structures, the Soviet military administration (SMA for short) took control of this apparatus . In June 1945 the German People's Police was established . On June 30, 1946, by order of the SMA, the "German Administration of the Interior" was founded, which took over police organs. By the "Law on Changes in the State Structure of the GDR" on July 23, 1952, the GDR was divided into districts to which police management structures were now also subject.

The German reunification on October 3, 1990 resulted in a restructuring of the Saxon state police based on the model of the police forces of the old federal states. The same uniforms, vehicles, armaments and structures were adopted. Since then, administration has been the responsibility of the Ministry of the Interior of the Free State of Saxony.

The police are supported by the “Saxon Security Guard ”. These are citizens who are trained in several day courses in order to strengthen the population's feeling of security and to pass on information from the population to the police stations. The security guards spend a maximum of 40 hours a month (mostly) walking in cities and towns and receive a flat fee. They can be recognized by their typical police outer clothing (jacket, shirt) bearing the Saxon coat of arms and on which the word “Saxon Security Guard” is written.

Police Saxony 2020

The precise project name "Improvement of the efficiency and quality of the police performance of tasks" means a detailed concept of the Ministry of the Interior of Saxony to make the Saxon police fit for the future and to adapt their relations to future areas of responsibility. Due to the declining population and a decrease in criminal offenses (since 1995 by approx. 30%) and traffic accidents (since 1999 by 21%), modernization is accompanied by a reduction in staff, as the police force is up to 30% higher in proportion Compared to the average of the western large countries, is no longer acceptable. A total of 11,280 positions should be available in 2020. This compares with 13,911 employed police officers today. This would still mean 405 citizens for one civil servant, whereas in the old federal states there would be a total of 427, so that a relatively high police density would have to be shown.

The exact distribution among the individual directorates would be as follows:

  • Chemnitz: 1,701
  • Dresden: 2.187
  • Görlitz: 1,243
  • Leipzig: 2,440
  • Zwickau: 1.075

Other instances:

  • State Criminal Police Office: 815
  • Riot Police: 1,271
  • State Office for Police Technology, Logistics and Administration: 391
  • University of the Saxon Police (FH): 124

All in all, according to these plans, the police in Saxony will comprise 41 police stations and a further 114 police stations.

It is also planned to relieve the police in the area of ​​unnecessary departments, so that they are given the opportunity to concentrate more on primary areas. For the functions that will be omitted in the future, privatizations or alternatives without replacement will be used.

In 2020 the so-called bicycle gate also became known. Over a period of four years, a police officer from the investigation group "Central Processing of Bicycle Crime" (ZentraB Fahrrad) of the Leipzig police resold seized bicycles within the police and public prosecutor's office. There are more than 100 other suspects, proceedings are being conducted for corruption , obstruction of punishment in office, theft and embezzlement . The Integrated Investigation Unit Saxony (INES) in the State Criminal Police Office Saxony is responsible for investigations in the area of ​​corruption and conducted a house search in July 2019, during which the investigators found numerous documents. In the same year, the Saxon State Ministry of the Interior was informed of the corruption scandal.
