Scoop: Dobrindt's Plan for a Border Patrol Boost with 3,000 Extra Cops
Enhanced Law Enforcement Presence: Dobrindt Plans to Deploy 3000 More Federal Police at the Border - Policereinforcements of 3,000 officers desired for border by Dobrindt
Hey there! Let's dive into the latest buzz surrounding Alexander Dobrindt, the new Interior Minister.
According to hot off the press rumors, Dobrindt's got a big plan up his sleeve for beefing up the border police force! In a move to fortify Germany's frontiers, it's been speculated that he's planning to add an extra 3,000 officers to the Federal Rapid Deployment Police.
Previously, there were whispers about an expansion to 1200 officers, but this new development takes it to a whole new level. As if that wasn't enough, they're also talking about deploying mobile control and surveillance units.
No specific source has been named yet, but word on the street is that these changes will soon shake things up. Dobrindt's border inspection teams might start working 12-hour shifts to manage these extra hands, potentially leading to a significant increase in control points too.
So, what does this mean for our border security? Well, the current force of 11,000 officers could see a substantial boost with this latest move. But hold on tight, as the number of control points, currently around 50, might also expand alongside this reinforcement.
The Interior Ministry has remained tight-lipped about these reports, neither confirming nor denying anything. Dobrindt himself will be making an official statement before the press later today at 16:45.
Did you know? Dobrindt has also reportedly revoked a 2015 verbal ministerial order by Thomas de Maizière (CDU) that allowed third-country nationals without valid residence documents or asylum applications to enter the country. This seems to align with the coalition agreement between Dobrindt's party, the CSU, and the SPD, which promises to turn back asylum seekers in coordination with European neighbors.
In case you're wondering, Dobrindt's predecessor, Nancy Faeser, has stated that more than 53,000 people have been turned back at German borders since October 2023.
Stay tuned for Dobrindt's press conference later today and we'll bring you the latest updates!

In the latest developments, it's been reported that Alexander Dobrindt, a member of the CSU, intends to substantially expand the Federal Police's border patrol, adding 3,000 officers to the existing force. This move, if confirmed, will see the current force of 11,000 officers potentially growing, and the number of control points possibly increasing as well. The Interior Ministry has not officially commented on the matter, and Dobrindt himself is set to address the press about it at 16:45. The Bild-Zeitung has been amongst the sources discussing this policy-and-legislation related to politics and general news. Previously, Nancy Faeser, Dobrindt's predecessor, stated that more than 53,000 people have been turned back at German borders since October 2023. This latest development in border politics is expected to bring significant changes to Germany's border control.
