Police Commissioner (Germany)
As a police station (PK) are so-called integrated services local (previously usually police station or -wache) denotes the police; that is, both the protection police (S) and the criminal police (K) work there “under one roof”.
The number of staff and equipment are very different depending on the size of the area of responsibility. Larger police stations (e.g. in rural areas of Lower Saxony or the city of Hamburg) have branch offices so that the population can be reached quickly and close to the citizen.
The police commissioner (with two branches of service "S" and "K") is usually headed by an officer from the higher police force . This can belong to the police or the criminal police.
In Hamburg this is no longer the case due to a reorganization of the police. Even if the police station and the criminal police are physically housed, they are now separate departments. However, the designation police station was retained. However, this is managed exclusively by officers of the higher service of the security police. Criminal police offices located in the police commissioner's offices are organizationally part of the State Criminal Police Office.
