Visiting the Federal Police Lake: Bayreuth celebrates Maritime tradition!

Visiting the Federal Police Lake: Bayreuth celebrates Maritime tradition!

In the heart of Bayreuth, a very special event took place today: A delegation from the federal police Lake, led by deputy commander Maik Schleusner, was warmly welcomed in the foyer of the new town hall by Mayor Thomas Ebersberger. The occasion of the visit was the citizens' festival, which was the close bond between the city and the Federal Police Celebrates.

The BP 25, a patrol ship of the federal police, plays a central role. With a length of 66 meters and an output of over 7,000 hp, it ensures border police protection in the waters of the western Baltic Sea, especially around the island of Fehmarn. The ship has been in use since 2003 and is used at a top speed of 21 knots (approx. 40 km/h) to carry out patrols in the coastal waters. There are about 14 federal police officers on board the ship that consist of various professions such as technicians, nautics and seafarers.

insights into the training and operations of the Federal Police Lake

As part of the reception, the officials in the large meeting room exchanged intensively with pupils from the Graf-Münster-Gymnasium. In an open question and answer session, the young people were given the opportunity to learn more about training at the Federal Police Lake, exciting international missions and life at sea. It was a lively exchange that promoted the understanding of the tasks and challenges of the coast guard.

The Federal Police Lake has an important task: it monitors the 888 km long sea race in Germany on the North and Baltic Sea and is responsible for preventing illegal entry. In addition, it combats the tug and smuggling crime at sea and carries out investigations in environmental violations. Other areas of responsibility include control of maritime traffic and the monitoring of fishing in order to adhere to catch rates. The Federal Police Lake is not only an important partner in monitoring the habitat in the sea, but is also in close exchange with customs.

tradition of sponsorship and connection to the city of Bayreuth

The sponsorship between the city of Bayreuth and a command ship of the federal police has existed since the 1970s. For the first time, Bayreuth took over the sponsorship for a patrol boat of the then Federal Border Guard. This long -term tradition is still cultivated by regular encounters, which illustrates the connection between the city and the federal police.

All participants остается only to hope for further successful operations and exciting encounters that strengthen and combine both the maritime security forces and the citizens.
