Brandenburg Police Use Rap Video to Attract Young Recruits

A new rap video campaign aims to boost applications for police training programs in Brandenburg.

Brandenburg's police department is using a rap video titled 'Bewirb Dich' to appeal to young potential recruits.
The campaign has successfully filled all available study and training positions for the autumn intake.
Approximately 231 new recruits have started their training at the police academy in Oranienburg this month.
Brandenburg remains one of the few states offering police training programs requiring only a middle school diploma.
The impact of the rap video on application numbers and the police's image is still under evaluation.
