On August 1, 1999, Reißmann took over the management of the then Police Directorate (PD) of the city of Chemnitz . After a police reform in Saxony that took place in 2004 , in which the number of police departments was reduced to seven, Interior Minister Horst Rasch ( CDU ) appointed him head of the Chemnitz-Erzgebirge police department (districts Annaberg , Chemnitzer Land , Freiberg , Middle Erzgebirgskreis , Mittweida and Stollberg as well as the district-free city of Chemnitz). Since the beginning of 2013, Reißmann has been the police president of the authority, now called Police Directorate Chemnitz as part of a further change in the organizational structure, whose area of ​​care includes the city of Chemnitz and the districts of Central Saxony and the Erzgebirgskreis and to which a total of 10  police stations (PR) and a motorway police station belong.

Public appearance

In 2013 Reißmann came as an invited witness before an investigative committee of the Saxon Parliament in Erklärungsnot because the right-wing terrorist group National Socialist Underground (NSU) 1998-2005 had committed a series of robberies in Chemnitz and he one in 2000 police internal consigned manhunt - Fax did not want to have received by referring to the NSU trio.

At a press conference at the end of 2015, Reißmann declared the Erzgebirgskreis to be the safest district in Saxony, but also pointed out the high level of stress on the police officers from the demonstrations in connection with the refugee situation.

Reissmann became known nationwide when he defended the police's actions in the riots against refugees in Clausnitz at a press conference on February 20, 2016 . Reissmann gave individual refugees complicity in the incidents in Clausnitz , a district of Rechenberg-Bienenmühle in the central Saxony district. After a boy from the bus showed the demonstrators the finger , he, another boy and a woman were forcibly removed from the bus and taken to the asylum center. Reissmann announced investigations by the police against the three refugees because they had provoked the demonstrators with insulting gestures. He called the physical constraint that took place during the transport of the refugees "absolutely necessary" and "proportionate", while admitting a previous "misjudgment" of expected protests against the arrival of the refugees.

Reactions

The comments made by Reissmann about the incidents in Clausnitz sparked heated discussions throughout Germany and - like the incidents themselves - were partly discussed in international media. Reissmann came under strong criticism. His attitude and the actions he had announced against refugees were rated by police expert Rafael Behr , professor of police science and dean of the University of Applied Sciences of the Hamburg Police Academy , as “gross instinct” and “devastating message”. The Working Group of Social Democratic Lawyers (AsJ) in Saxony (AsJ Sachsen) called on the Saxon state government to take personal consequences and to suspend Reissmann from work until the incidents have been finally resolved .

On February 27, 2016, a special meeting of the interior committee of the Saxon state parliament took place on the xenophobic riots in Clausnitz. The parliamentary group of the party Die Linke criticized the absence of Reissmann at the meeting. Then Saxony's Interior Minister Markus Ulbig (CDU) announced that, contrary to Reissmann's declaration, there would be no investigations against refugees. On the other hand, investigations were started against "four alleged participants in the blockade" of the bus with the refugees, continued Ulbig; In addition, there were "two reports against police officers, including one against [...] Reissmann".
