Bavarian Department of Police: Refusing to Settle on Impressive Crime Rate Statistics

In recent times, the Bavarian region has experienced a series of unsettling incidents, including the attack on the Israeli consulate in Munich in September 2024 and the attack in Aschaffenburg in January 2025. These events have left citizens feeling uneasy, but a new development from the DPolG Bavaria, the German Police Union in the state, offers some reassurance.

Thorsten Grimm, the 1st deputy state chairman of DPolG Bavaria, emphasizes the need to strengthen the subjective sense of security among Bavarian citizens. In line with this, DPolG Bavaria calls for a consistent reversal of the cannabis consumption law from the future federal government. According to Grimm, the decriminalization of cannabis consumption results in more work, more control activity, and more preventive work for the police.

However, it's important to note that DPolG Bavaria's concerns about the cannabis consumption law are separate from their concerns about non-German suspects and migration policy. In fact, DPolG Bavaria supports a more restrictive migration and refugee policy in response to the high number of non-German suspects. The DPolG finds the development in this area worrying, with non-German suspects now making up almost half of all suspects.

To address this, DPolG Bavaria demands far-reaching legal powers for the clarification of crimes in public spaces and calls for increased use of video surveillance, automated facial recognition, and AI to identify perpetrators more quickly. However, it's crucial to note that these measures are not related to the stance on the cannabis consumption law.

Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann presents police crime statistics that suggest life in Bavaria remains very safe. Despite this, DPolG Bavaria believes that strengthening border controls, rejections, and deportations is necessary for maintaining internal security and ensuring that extremist and racist forces have no space.

It's essential to stay informed about the evolving security situation and the measures being taken to ensure the safety of Bavarian citizens. The DPolG Bavaria's calls for strengthened security measures and a reversal of the cannabis consumption law are part of this ongoing dialogue.
