Union of Law Enforcement Officials Urges Increased Personnel for Immigration Removal Operations

Lower Saxony's police union (GdP) is pushing for more personnel to facilitate increased deportations of rejected asylum seekers. GdP chairman Kevin Komolka told NDR that their administrative enforcement officers are responsible for deportations but lack the necessary forces to handle the task efficiently.

In the new federal government led by Friedrich Merz (CDU), there's a desire to tighten migration policy with stronger border controls and a "deportation offensive."The coalition agreement between CDU and SPD states that the federal government will develop legal regulations to increase the number of deportations.

Komolka informed NDR that the police in Lower Saxony have been supporting the administrative enforcement officers of the state immigration authority in deportations for about 1,500 to 1,600 times a year. Recently, the police also handle a significant part of the deportations alone.

Komolka acknowledges the reality of the officers' capacities under the new federal government and demands a "significant increase in personnel" for the state immigration authority. Just a few days ago, three police unions in the state demanded 1,000 additional positions for the police, citing increasing demands in all areas of police work.

Lower Saxony's Minister of the Interior, Daniela Behrens (SPD), suggested the demand for additional positions to be exaggerated. She stated that there are more police officers in service than ever before in the state's history, with around 27,000 people working in the state police.

Strategies for Addressing Personnel Needs

1. Advocacy for Increased Resources

  • Request budget increases to recruit and train more officers.
  • Advocate for better funding from the state and federal authorities to tackle the resource gap.

2. Efficiency and Prioritization

  • Streamline processes: Collaborate with government agencies to minimize bureaucratic hurdles, maximizing personnel effectiveness.
  • Prioritize cases: Encourage case prioritization based on urgency and legal requirements to optimize deployment.

3. Public Engagement and Support

  • Ensure legal compliance: Collaborate with legal experts to carry out all deportations within the bounds of the law.
  • Address public concerns: Clarify the fairness and necessity of deportations, emphasizing respect for ethical standards.

5. National Coordination

  • Inter-state cooperation: Share best practices with other police unions across the country.
  • Federal support: Petition federal authorities for additional support and guidelines to manage increased deportations effectively.

By adopting these strategies, the Lower Saxony police union can effectively tackle the demand for more personnel while maintaining public trust and ensuring ethical conduct.
