Brandenburg Police Face Severe Infrastructure and Equipment Challenges

The Police Union highlights critical deficiencies in facilities, technology, and vehicles, urging immediate investment and reform.

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The state’s police vehicle fleet, including boats and helicopters, is outdated, with urgent calls for upgrades to meet operational needs in a region reliant on waterways.
