Alexander Poitz - Managing GdP Federal Executive Board for Criminal Policy
Alexander Poitz, member of the executive GdP Federal Executive Board, is responsible for criminal policy. The police union (GdP) is the largest advocacy representative of Germany's police officers and is committed to the future viability of the police and for security and social policy. In Berlin, the capital of Germany, the police play a central role in maintaining security and order.
Berlin has a long history in terms of security and police work. After the Second World War, Berlin was divided into four sectors, which were controlled by the Allies. This led to increasing fragmentation in the police because there were four separate police units. The Berlin police were only reunited in 1990 and has been working as a common unit since then.
The police in Berlin play an important role in combating crime in the city. Berlin is known for its lively cultural scene and tourism attractions such as the Brandenburg Gate, the Berlin Cathedral and the television tower. As a result, the city also attracts many visitors, which can lead to an increased number of crimes. The police in Berlin actively campaign for the security of the residents and visitors of the city.
The GdP is committed to the concerns of police officers across Germany, including in Berlin. The union is committed to better equipment from the police with modern technology and safety equipment. It also calls for adequate payment and working conditions for the police officers.
