Hessian Interior Minister Orders Overhaul at Frankfurt’s 1st Police Precinct After Abuse Allegations

Prosecutors are probing 17 officers over alleged assaults on six detainees earlier this year.

Overview

  • Roman Poseck detailed a personnel restructuring that will assign predominantly experienced officers to the high-volume inner-city station and expand supervision.
  • A special response formation will reinforce the precinct on weekends to bolster capacity and control.
  • A new central unit will receive internal misconduct reports with an option for anonymous submissions through a technical system.
  • The station will be physically redesigned to keep visitors separate from detained persons to reduce risky encounters.
  • Investigations are ongoing into five female and twelve male officers for alleged blows, kicks and head thrusts, and Poseck plans to inspect the precinct on November 10.
