Overview
- Policeoberätin Carina Fasser and Polizeirat Markus Oehme formally took joint command of Munich’s Einsatzhundertschaften in ceremonies reported on August 24–25.
- The Einsatzhundertschaften are 100‑officer closed units that support patrols at demonstrations, sports events and large operations and run around the clock.
- Leaders say their immediate priority is mentoring largely junior officers who join these units straight from training so they can handle volatile situations safely.
- Bavarian policy reserves Tasers (Distanzelektroimpulsgerät) for closed units like the Einsatzhundertschaften and the USK, and commanders stressed the device’s limits when suspects are intoxicated or unresponsive.
- Police cited more than 12,000 alarmings and over 900 closed‑unit deployments in 2025 as evidence of high operational demand and said recent incidents in Schwabing and Ismaning underline the need for clear doctrine and officer protection.
