Superordinate police authorities are referred to as police headquarters. The term has been used for various government agencies since the 18th century . So was z. B. 1782 in Vienna the first "Police Directorate" introduced, 1809 in Hanover a Royal Westphalian Police Directorate .

Germany

The Police Directorate (PD) is an intermediate authority of the state police in many German federal states ; only in Baden-Wuerttemberg is it the lower police enforcement authority, to which the police stations are subordinate. Central authorities there are the regional councils. The equivalent in Saarland is the Police District Inspectorate (PBI) .

Several police inspections (e.g. in Rhineland-Palatinate, Lower Saxony, Brandenburg), police stations (e.g. Baden-Württemberg, Bremen, Saxony), police sections (Berlin) are subordinate to one police directorate .

The division manager is a police officer of higher service : For the six are Berlin police directorates, each one Senior Police Director out. The Berlin police headquarters are each subordinate to between six and nine police sections.

The superior authority is the police headquarters or a comparable institution, in Saxony the Saxon Ministry of the Interior itself; in North Rhine-Westphalia the police district reports directly to the state interior ministry.

Switzerland

In Switzerland 's police department in some cantons the name of a cantonal Ministry; see Police Department and Security Directorate .
