New growth for the Dortmund police: 187 officials start their service
On Monday, September 2, a significant event took place in the regional training center in Dortmund-Aplerbeck: police chief Gregor Lange welcomed 187 new civil servants. This reinforcement is made up of 145 former commissioners who have successfully completed their dual studies, as well as 35 other civil servants who were transferred to Dortmund by other authorities. The group is supplemented by seven government inspectors.
These new police forces will not only be active in Dortmund, but also in Lünen and who look after over 500 motorway kilometers, for which the Dortmund police headquarters are responsible. The challenges that are waiting for these new colleagues are varied and exciting, according to the words of Lange.
Diverse challenges in everyday police life
For the new civil servants, everyday work will be shaped by the contraception and clarification of criminal offenses as well as traffic accident prevention. A special focus is also on central topics that relate to cooperation with the company. This includes not only the fight against child pornography and right -wing extremism, but also the dialogue with a diverse population.
In his speech, police president for a long time emphasized that the current crime statistics are partially worrying. The numbers have increased in recent years, particularly in security -relevant areas such as violent crime. These developments strongly challenge the Dortmund police headquarters and put it under high pressure to succeed. "People rely on us, and that's really the case," said, who assured the new civil servants that they play a crucial role in the security of citizens.
The last incidents, such as the attack in Solingen and the killing spree in Siegen, show how urgently the police support is needed by society. He appealed to the newcomers: "Show the citizens that they are there when they are needed."
A call to citizens' orientation and diversity
The police chief encouraged the new forces to actively participate in a citizen -oriented police. This not only means to follow the social changes, but also actively shape them. Long emphasized that diversity is an important aspect in order to be able to better manage the challenges. He recognized that the city society is changing and that the police need open and continuous feedback from the citizens to solve problems together and avoid misunderstandings.
In addition to the 187 civil servants who are now working, 342 commissioner candidates, commissioner candidates and government inspector candidates begin their dual studies on the same day. This is illustrated by the endeavors of the police in Dortmund to put well -trained, competent and committed specialists into service in order to meet the complex requirements of modern police work.
