Polizei Hessen

The main activity of the company Polizei Hessen is to ensure public safety and order in Hesse, a state of Germany. It provides police services such as crime prevention, investigation of offences, protection of citizens, management of road traffic, combating terrorism and cybercrime, as well as assistance during emergency situations. Its products and services are primarily aimed at the resident population, visitors to the region, as well as businesses and public institutions of the State of Hesse.

The Hesse Police (Polizei Hessen) is the official police organization of the state of Hesse, Germany. Its history is part of the evolution of the German police after the Second World War, with the creation of a democratic and decentralized police force in each state.

Key stages of its development:

• Creation: The Hesse Police was founded after 1945, in the context of the reorganization of security forces in Germany. It is under the authority of the Ministry of the Interior of the state of Hesse.
• Organization: The police is structured into several Polizeipräsidien (regional headquarters), covering the entire territory of Hesse, as well as specialized services such as the Landeskriminalamt (Regional Criminal Police Office), the Polizeipräsidium für Technik (for technology), and the Polizeipräsidium Einsatz (for special operations).
• Modernization and products: The Hesse Police has continuously modernized its equipment (vehicles, communication technologies, IT systems) and its working methods, notably with the implementation of an Onlinewache (online police station) to facilitate contact with citizens.
• Partnerships: It collaborates with other German police forces, judicial authorities, municipalities, as well as European partners to combat organized crime and for prevention.
• Strategic changes: The police has adapted to new security challenges, such as cybercrime, terrorism prevention, management of major events (for example, football matches in Frankfurt), and proximity to the population through programs like “Schutzfrau vor Ort” (neighborhood policewoman).
• Training: The Hessische Hochschule für öffentliches Management und Sicherheit trains future police officers and public security managers.
• Staff and key figures: Around 22,000 employees, 1,520 patrol vehicles, 207 police dogs, and coverage of 21,115 km².

The Hesse Police pursues a strategy of innovation, transparency, and proximity, while relying on a strong regional organization and specialized services to meet the security needs of the state.

The founder and main members of the management team of Polizei Hessen are not explicitly mentioned, as it is a German public institution, the police force of the state of Hesse. Therefore, it does not have a "founder" in the traditional sense, but was established as a state body. The current management team generally includes the Landespolizeipräsident (President of the State Police), who is the highest police authority in the state of Hesse. This position is currently held by Stefan Müller (Landespolizeipräsident). He is supported by several vice presidents and department directors, who are responsible for various divisions such as the criminal police, traffic police, protection police, and other specialized units.

For more details on the organizational chart and management members, you can consult the "Organisation" section of the official Polizei Hessen website, where the heads of the various departments and regional directorates are presented.
