Federal Police in Walsrode: Training for the challenges of security

Walsrode, Deutschland - The federal police are the focus of the political debate! With increasing demands on internal security and the urgent need for border protection, the pressure on the officials is increasing. The training of the new federal police officers in the Walsrode training center is crucial for coping with these challenges. Here the prospective police officers are prepared for their future missions, be it in violent demonstrations or the control of train stations and airports. But the reality looks different: the police union warns of serious personnel, which could arise from the delegation of forces to the external borders.

Interior Minister Nancy Faeser has arranged temporary border controls to contain illegal migration. This causes excitement! Critics, such as the CDU politician Armin Laschet, speak of "symbolic policy" and warn that each federal police officer used is missing at train stations and airports. Frances Kruse, spokesman for the Federal Police Academy, admits that the growing requirements also have bottlenecks. Nevertheless, it is emphasized that new forces are continuously set in order to meet the diverse tasks. "Investments in personnel and technological resources" are essential according to Kruse.

The training is not only a question of specialist knowledge, but also emotional preparation! The prospective federal police learn to act calmly and professionally in stressful and conflict -loaded situations. The selection process is hard and takes into account not only technical, but also personal properties. "The federal police do not tolerate any extremist tendencies," emphasizes Kruse. The training also includes dealing with ethical-moral issues, especially with severe decisions such as deportation. Intercultural competence is actively promoted to ensure that the officials not only act legally, but also morally responsibly.
