Almost 1,600 new police officers sworn in: a record for Nuremberg!
Yesterday, almost 1,600 new police officers in Nuremberg were delighted to be officially sworn in. The celebrations took place in the festive Frankenhalle in the exhibition center, where Bavaria's Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann and Prime Minister Markus Söder emphasized the importance of the police for security in Bavaria. Herrmann also announced a new high of more than 45,700 jobs in the Bavarian police. This means that the police have created a total of 8,000 additional positions since 2008, which underlines the excellent progress in police training and recruitment, as tixio.de reports.
The exciting ceremony was attended by around 7,000 people who showed their respect for the police candidates. These new officials are committed to serving justice, freedom and security and are bringing a breath of fresh air into the ranks of the Bavarian executive. It is worth noting that 37 percent of new police forces are now female, increasing diversity in the police ranks. The age group of candidates ranges from 17 to 36 years, with many having already completed other training or studies, such as BR reported.
The training: A groundbreaking step
Training with the Bavarian police is divided into several sections and topics. The new officers will be deployed at various locations, including Eichstätt, Würzburg, Nuremberg, Königsbrunn, Dachau and Sulzbach-Rosenberg. This diverse training landscape offers young police officers not only theoretical but also practical knowledge in order to be optimally prepared for their service. The number of applications is high: last year, for example, there were more than six applicants per training position for 1,501 middle-level positions. The candidates pursue clear requirements, such as health suitability and compliance with the law Wikipedia can be read.
Another interesting aspect is the fact that since 2011 no distinction has been made between middle and senior service. In addition, training to become a police master takes place at the 2nd qualification level, which lasts 29 months and is divided into several practical assignments. In the first year of training, candidates gain their first practical experience, which ensures a strong connection between theory and practice.
A ray of hope for security in Bavaria
The large-scale swearing-in ceremony and the associated figures underscore the Bavarian government's efforts to ensure a safe environment for all citizens. The addition of almost 1,600 new police officers will make an important contribution to security in Bavaria. The increase in numbers and targeted training could, in the best case scenario, lead to more citizens opting for a career in the police every year. With this impression, we can only hope that the young police candidates have a good handle on the challenges of being an advocate of law and security in their future service.
