future challenges for the police

The topic of dealing with mentally conspicuous people has become increasingly pressing in recent years. According to Tagesschau , 37 people have been shot in Germany in similar crisis situations since 2019. Experts call for better training for civil servants in order to be able to act appropriately and professionally in such exceptional situations. This applies in particular to the training in dealing with people who suffer from mental illnesses.

The lack of financial resources and staff often means that such further training measures cannot be implemented to the extent required. Only three federal states have introduced compulsory training for all officials. The topic has additional explosiveness, since the parents of a man who was shot by the police in Hamburg in 2019 submitted a lawsuit to the European Court of Human Rights. A judgment could have far -reaching consequences for police work in Germany.
