Police

“To protect and serve” is the motto of the police, but these days, many people have cause to wonder who is being protected and served. That said, Police Influence can be very handy in protecting one’s holdings or raiding the assets of another. Police of all ranks, detectives, clerical staff, dispatchers, prison guards, special divisions (such as SWAT or homicide) and local highway patrol officers make up these ranks.
The city’s own police force is known as Der Polizeipraesident in Berlin or simply Berliner Polizei. It is staffed by 20,000 employees in 12 boroughs, with one or two precincts in each. The Schutzpolizei are equivalent to ‘beat cops’, in charge of patrol and traffic control. Other divisions include the State Criminal Police Office (Landeskriminalamt or LKA), Criminal Investigations Department (Kriminalpolizei or Kripo), river patrol, traffic police, K9, and the Central Service Unit (ZSE) for administrative support.
The chief of police is known as the Police President (in Berlin), operating out of the Police Presidium in Tempelhof. The chief of police is chosen by the Berlin Senate, but must be confirmed by the Allied Commissioner prior to assuming office.
