REORGANIZATION OF THE BERLIN POLICE ALONG THE LINES RECOMMENDED BY A PRIVATE MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT FIRM INVOLVES A REDUCTION IN THE NUMBER OF POLICE HEADQUARTERS AND THE CREATION OF A LARGE NUMBER OF CONTACT AREAS.
Abstract
THE SO-CALLED CONTACT AREAS (THERE WILL BE 722 OF THEM) ARE INTENDED TO BRING THE POLICE INTO CLOSER CONTACT WITH THE CITIZENS. IN THE INNER CITY EACH CONTACT AREA WILL COMPRISE ABOUT FOUR BLOCKS, WITH ABOUT 3,000 INHABITANTS. THE REORGANIZATION WILL ALSO PUT THE REGULAR POLICE AND THE CRIMINAL POLICE UNDER THE SAME ADMINISTRATIVE LEADERSHIP. CHARTS ARE INCLUDED THAT SHOW THE NEW ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE. --IN GERMAN
