Such a project would be in Germany hardly feasible, emphasized by Dobrowolski. This is also due to the fact that it is around in the US overall 18,000 individual police authorities give. “There is a correspondingly large and inconsistent mass of police and administrative regulations in the United States.” Cities and counties can largely determine their own policing, sheriffs and prosecutors are often chosen by the population.
In Germany, police officers could be over because of their legal status don’t just get fired, from Dobrowolski. But there is also potential for reform here, above all to avoid Everyday racism and Racial Profiling: “Why does a police officer usually have to train his driving skills or his shooting performance annually, but not basic rules?”
“It is also very important to avoid creeping radicalization that police officers do not feel lost, for example through Staff- and Lack of equipment, infinite overtime and more felt Disregarded by politics and society“said the chief police commissioner at the police in Berlin. For training and further education, the police should cooperate more with civil society organizations.
