Police authorities of Bavaria refrain from resting complacently on their good crime statistics.

In a recent statement, Thorsten Grimm, the 1st deputy state chairman of the German Police Union (DPolG) in Bavaria, expressed concerns about the increased workload and control activities for the police due to the cannabis consumption law. Grimm finds the law a 'bad joke' for the police, as it increases their workload.

Grimm's stance is based on the belief that the law leads to more work, more control activities, and more preventive work for the police. However, it's important to note that the DPolG believes the decrease in registered crimes in the cannabis consumption area is solely due to decriminalization, not the law itself.

The DPolG in Bavaria, alongside the Bavarian Interior Minister, demands a consistent reversal of the cannabis consumption law from the future federal government. To strengthen the subjective feeling of safety, the DPolG is demanding far-reaching legal powers for the clarification of crimes in public spaces.

Grimm also emphasized the need to address the worrying trend of non-German suspects, who now make up almost half of all suspects. To address this, the DPolG is advocating for border controls, repatriations, and deportations to be further strengthened as part of this policy.

In response to this development, the DPolG is demanding a further restrictive migration and refugee policy. The DPolG also advocates for increased use of video surveillance, automated facial recognition, and AI to identify perpetrators more quickly.

It's essential to clarify that the DPolG's demands are not related to any specific incidents, such as the attack on the Israeli consulate in Munich in September 2024 or the attack in Aschaffenburg in January 2025. Neither are they related to any registered decrease in crimes or improvement in the subjective sense of security among Bavarian citizens.

For more information, you can contact the DPolG Bavaria at Markus Haiß (08955279490, [email protected], https://www.dpolg-bayern.de). The police criminal statistics presented by Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann in Nuremberg show that life in Bavaria is still very safe, but certain incidents have left citizens with an uneasy feeling. The DPolG's main goal is to address these concerns and ensure the safety and security of Bavarian citizens.
