Cooperation between Police Authorities and Border Police Authorities in Border Areas produced in 18 February 2002 the German-Polish Police Agreement; there has been close cooperation between the police force of Brandenburg and the Polish police force, in particular from the Voivodships of Szczecin, Gorzow and Wroclaw.In order to coordinate German-Polish police cooperation, the police force of the Federal Land of Brandenburg created the post of Commissioner for German-Polish Relations as an independent organizational unit which is available 24/7 as a contact for the Polish authorities. In the German-Polish border region, crime prevention measures, in particular, are implemented that are focused on the organization of joint patrols as an integral part of direct cooperation between police stations and district headquarters. These joint patrols are deployed at special events such as folk festivals and major events in a bid to prevent administrative offenses and criminal offenses that can be classified specifically as mass criminality. In 2010, a total of 130 patrols were deployed. Joint bicycle patrols were organized as a special kind of patrol in 2010 during the months in which bicycles are typically used. |
