The Frankfurt City Police is the field service of the Public Order Office of the City of Frankfurt am Main and was founded on June 1, 2007. The approx. 260 employees of the city police are auxiliary police officers in terms of § 99 of the Hessian Law on Public Safety and Order (HSOG).

The city police work closely with the Hessian police , the federal police as well as with customs and the Federal Office for Goods Transport . As part of a cooperation with the Frankfurt am Main Police Headquarters (“Security and Order Partnership”), joint controls, patrols (“Mixed Double” campaign) and operations are carried out together.

history

When the municipal protection and criminal police were absorbed by the Hessian state police in 1974, the municipality filled the gap by expanding the powers of the field protection police - a forerunner of the public order office - and reorganizing said special police in the newly established field protection and investigation service . The field protection was renamed to Ordnungspolizei in 2004, thus implementing an amendment to the Hessian Hazard Defense Act, which determined the renaming of the municipal auxiliary police.

Many municipalities then also changed the vehicle labels. Especially in Frankfurt am Main and Darmstadt there were protests against this renaming, as this term was also used for part of the police under National Socialism (see Ordnungspolizei ). The inscriptions in Frankfurt and Darmstadt were therefore initially changed back to the Ordnungsamt .

On June 1, 2007, the field service of the public order office was named City Police and City Police - Traffic and City Police - Traffic Monitoring. The monitoring of stationary and flowing traffic was assigned to the road traffic office ( city ​​police - traffic monitoring) and monitoring and investigative tasks from areas for which the municipalities are responsible in Hesse, the public order office ( city ​​police ). For a better understanding of the citizens, the city police of the Road Traffic Office has been called the City Traffic Police since 2017 .
