Because Germany is a federation, each Land (state) has its own police force. To get and idea of the services, tips and advice being offered, you only have to click on the Land you want.

Where safety and order for the people of Germany are concerned, there is no other profession that is under so much public scrutiny as the police. This is because, amongst other things, protection against crime affects the quality of life like practically nothing else. The law clearly defines the duties of the police: the police must prevent anything that could endanger public safety and order, they must solve crimes and prosecute offences. The police can be contacted throughout Germany with the emergency call number 110. More information is available on the internet addresses www.polizei.de and www.bundespolizei.de.
