Unfortunately, the Berlin Volunteer Police Service was abolished in
2002 due to political circumstances. After a vote for a new town
parliament, Berlin got a new government. Leading party became the Social
Democratic Party, well known as the party of the former town mayor of
Berlin and chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany - Willy Brandt.
To become the legal capacity for the government business, a coalition
with an other party was necessary. So they made this coalition with the
former east German communists party (now known as PDS – “Party for Democratic Socialism”).
This party has its problems with security, the Police and especially with the Police Volunteers because most volunteers vote for conservative politicians and not for an only renamed party of the former GDR regime.One of the first acts of the new government was to abolish the successful
Volunteer Police Service.
But many of the former Police Volunteers are fighting on the political stage for its “come back”. This homepage will inform you about the history, training and tasks of the Berlin Volunteers and their colleagues and friends everywhere in the world.
Step by step we will translate all information into English, but you can already now get some interesting facts about volunteer police services in different parts of the world.
