According to the Ministry of the Interior, the Bavarian police will reach a new peak in personnel in 2022 with more than 44,500 jobs. According to this, around 1,750 new hires are planned for this year: On Tuesday, around 830 junior civil servants started their training or studies. Around 640 newly trained police officers strengthened the departments. In addition, 86 new commissioners should come from April. “After deducting retirements and deaths, our police departments can count on a total of 217 additional police officers in spring,” said Bavaria’s Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann (CSU) according to a statement on Tuesday at the “Enforce Tac” trade fair for security technology in Nuremberg.
The Bavarian police are also represented with a stand at the two-day fair, where they present a high-tech patrol car and want to recruit young people. In the draft budget for 2022, a record sum of 596 million euros is available for the police, Herrmann said. “This allows us to invest heavily in the state-of-the-art equipment for our emergency services.”
