Law enforcement in Germany

A portrait of a chief police officer in Hamburg, wearing the new blue uniform in accordance with the policy of using the same colour for police uniforms and vehicles throughout the European Union. Law enforcement in Germany is divided into two groups: the federal police and the state police. There formerly were also local police, but they were not effective in fighting the rise of organised crime and terrorism (Baader-Meinhof, RAF) and were merged into the state police in the 1970s.
