With a diversely qualified and forward-looking forensic science and technology institute and our leading role in the fight against special and new forms of crime, we set important impulses and standards. We want to be at the forefront of the fight against crime in Germany.
Diverse
We and our work are diverse - in every respect. We are criminologists, analysts, forensic experts, initiators, scientists, technicians, programmers, researchers, developers, housekeepers, HR managers ... This allows us to react flexibly to external influences and work holistically on solutions for security and order. Diversity is not just a value for us, but a lived reality. We are convinced that only together can we successfully face the challenges of our time and help shape change in the long term.

Networked
We are the point of contact for the police, other state and federal security authority partners and the public. We are the link to science and international partners. To this end, we network with experts from various specialist disciplines. This exchange enables us to harness external expertise for the police, advance research and further develop effective and efficient crime prevention.
