Communication
The freedom of the press guaranteed by the German constitution is one of the outstanding features of a democratic constitutional state. The aim of our communication is to make police actions transparent and comprehensible.

The press office strives to present the work of the police to the public in a transparent manner. A trusting and good cooperation with the media strengthens the image of the police as a citizen-oriented, law-abiding and professional police force.

Aim and task of press relations

To this end, the members of the press office prepare press releases and process media inquiries. In the event of outstanding operations, they are the point of contact for journalists on site.

The press releases can be found via the following link at news-aktuell.
