Overview

• The Brandenburg Police Union (GdP) has criticized the state of police infrastructure, describing conditions in some facilities as catastrophic.
• A police station in Potsdam was labeled a 'showcase wreck,' while a newly built station in Falkensee already shows structural issues such as water intrusion.
• The GdP reports severe overcrowding at the state criminal police office (LKA), hindering effective operations.
• Technological shortcomings, including lack of adequate data capacity and Wi-Fi at many stations, limit the force's ability to adapt to modern demands.
• The state’s police vehicle fleet, including boats and helicopters, is outdated, with urgent calls for upgrades to meet operational needs in a region reliant on waterways.
