Future Police Chief Embraces Düsseldorf Role with Vigor
Düsseldorf - As of this coming Friday, Miriam Brauns (52) will be making the move from a cathedral city to the state capital as the new head of Düsseldorf's police headquarters. A woman of action, she expressed clear intentions for her tenure from the get-go.
Last Monday, Miriam Brauns was officially named Police Commissioner by Interior Minister Herbert Reul (71, CDU), in a ceremony held in the heart of Düsseldorf's old town. Mayor Stephan Keller (53, CDU) and other esteemed guests from politics, police, justice, and the city attended, each offering their congratulations.
"The North Rhine-Westphalia police force is selective," said Reul. "We choose the best candidates, and the best police chiefs. Our department only needs the most capable individuals. This isn't just a job – it's a calling!"
