Germany's Interior Minister, Alexander Dobrindt, is eager to beef up border security to curb irregular migration. Dobrindt is expected to discuss the finer details of this plan with Federal Police President Dieter Romann and President of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees, Hans-Eckhard Sommer, today [1].
According to whispers circulating in the media, the contingent of the Federal Rapid Deployment Police stationed at the border may soon double, climbing to a staggering 1,200 [2]. Moreover, Mobile Control and Monitoring Units are likely to be added to the mix. In addition to this, border inspection officers are set for extended shifts, working 12-hour days [2].
The Union of Police Representatives has long voiced concerns about the potential overburdening of the Federal Police [3]. Proponents of these measures argue that this enhanced border protection would free up police officers elsewhere, reducing the need to document and escort asylum seekers to initial reception facilities [3].
While concrete details regarding the Federal Rapid Deployment Police and the Mobile Control and Monitoring Units remain elusive, one thing is clear – Germany’s commitment to secure borders is unwavering [4][5]. In fact, the government has already established permanent border controls with Poland, Austria, and France as part of this stricter immigration policy [5].
Let’s see what surprises Dobrindt has in store for Germany's border security.
