Rudolf Kilb
Rudolf Kilb (* 1938 ) is a former Hessian police officer and was police chief of the police headquarters in South Hesse from 1994 to 2003 . He is married for the first time and lives with his wife Christa in Wiesbaden.
The police officer
Rudolf Kilb joined the Hessian police as a police sergeant in 1957 and was appointed police commissioner in Wiesbaden in 1965 . Already in the rank of police chief inspector he attended the police leadership academy in Münster-Hiltrup from 1971 to 1972 , after graduating in 1973 he was promoted to the police council . From 1974 to 1986, Chief Police Officer Rudolf Kilb headed the Rheingau-Taunus District Police Station and the Police Department of the City of Wiesbaden, before he was appointed Police Director in 1986 as head of the Police Chief of Police in Wiesbaden. From 1987 to 1994 he was the representative of the police chief in Wiesbaden, from 1989 in the position of chief police director as head of the police and criminal police. In 1987, as Vice President of the Police, he outlined his clear ideas that should determine his actions in the years to come:
“[...] Alienation from the citizen occurred more intensely when police posts and small stations were disbanded as a result of the necessary concentration of forces and also - caused by excessive workload - the criminal police carried out ever greater centralization. All centralization measures, which were also born out of the shortage of personnel, have not brought about any improvement in the fight against crime. The improvement of work processes through centralization has ultimately only brought about rationalization in the administration of crime. [...]
In the case of mass offenses in particular, it is necessary that the offense must be dealt with by the officer taking the charge. Here a relationship of trust is established in a special way between the citizen who is injured and the police. For the citizen it is inexplicable that in the event of a theft from a motor vehicle, processing takes place in such a way that the radio patrol service records a report and a remote criminal police station processes the report. [...]
For my service district, I can state that I require every uniformed officer to be patrolled every day. This mandate applies to all civil servants, ie agency management, office staff, investigation groups and service groups. From the top to the last patrol officer, everyone is obliged to plan for this daily uniformed patrol when performing their duties. [...] "
The chief of police
The CDU member Rudolf Kilb was appointed Police President of the Darmstadt Police Headquarters in December 1994 by the then Hessian SPD Interior Minister Gerhard Bökel with the clear mandate to carry out a police reform. In the southern Hessian metropolis, whose police were led by an SPD member and son of Darmstadt for 31 years, now "the black hot dog" from Wiesbaden moved: "the general is coming" - Kilb was considered uncompromisingly strict.
With the opening of the border in 1989, the dissolution of the Soviet Union and, in particular, the wave of refugees as a result of the Yugoslav wars , there was a steady increase in crime, which made adjustments in the police necessary. According to the results of the reorganization work group , the Darmstadt police authority was reorganized in November 1995 in accordance with a ministerial decree. At the core was a decentralized, real-time processing of mass crime with an integration of the previous branches of the criminal police and protection police with the aim of an effective fight against crime, which was essentially implemented by expanding the police investigation teams to the districts and stations. In 1996, 87% of crimes were processed decentrally and only 13% centrally.
In 2001, Kilb merged the previous Darmstadt police headquarters with the Bergstrasse, Groß-Gerau and Odenwald police departments to form one of the seven Hessian regional headquarters as the South Hesse police headquarters under the roof of the newly created state police headquarters . The three district administrators lost their responsibility for the police enforcement area, the operational management of the regional presidents (intermediate level) ceased without replacement. This created an authority with around 1900 employees that looks after around 1.3 million people over an area of 2580 km².
After a BKA working conference in 1996, Rudolf Kilb had the idea to use the results in a two-year scientifically supported model project Pro Victim with the aim of professionalising the police in dealing with victims and witnesses (PUMOZ) in close cooperation with the Darmstadt police force, TU Darmstadt and the criminal investigation institute of the BKA. The overall project comprised innovations in the police field, such as structural improvements in interrogations or imparting basic knowledge about the needs and expectations of victims, as well as a change in the assessment of police action, also with regard to the perception and sensitivities of victim witnesses.
"[...] Police President Rudolf Kilb made the PUMOZ project his personal affair and thankfully laid the administrative groundwork that kept the entire project on the road to success."
Rudolf Kilb was retired from service on December 31, 2003, also with great appreciation for former defeatists .
The other kilb
The consistently acting hardliner surprised his environment as a pleasure- loving person on a higher level who, in addition to his love of sport, music and literature, appreciates good food and made no secret of his connection to the country and people of France. The events of serenade concerts in the courtyard of the police headquarters with the participation of the Hessian Police Orchestra, as well as Advent concerts in different churches in South Hesse, were outstanding. His pronounced passion for tennis became evident when organizing PP Open tournaments on the sports grounds of the Presidium.
A special highlight was the creation of a vineyard on a south-facing site in the grounds of the Darmstadt police headquarters in 1995. With the support of a wine laboratory in Oestrich-Winkel , the Hessian state winery Kloster Eberbach and the Roßdörfer winemaker Edling, ninety-nine vines were grown within the limits of EU wine law White Burgundy grape variety , which Rudolf Kilb paid for, planted. The annual production of around 300 bottles a year, known as special prevention, is used for events by the Presidium, for visits to the sick and for honors. This means that the PP South Hesse should be the only police station in the world with its own vineyard. In the immediate vicinity of the vineyard, after a substantial donation from Police President Kilb, which was followed by further donations from trade unions and sponsors, the employees built a barbecue hut with space for forty people. The so-called Rudolf-Kilb-Hütte has since been used for official purposes and for social events of the authority and its individual departments.
