Polizei Bayern
With the incorporation of the Bavarian Border Police into the Bavarian State Police their history came to an end on 31 March 1998. They were replaced by police departments that almost exclusively deal with cross-border traffic. These include: the Missing Persons Police Department ("Polizeiinspektion Fahndung" or "PIF") with border police stations (GPS) and the Search and Inspection Force ("Fahndungs- und Kontrolltrupp" or "FKT"). FKT officials are civilian and also work outside Bavaria in areas near the border. The border officers ("Grenzbeauftragter") are the only vestige of the old border police that remains.
