According to a media report, 400 German police officers are subject to open disciplinary procedures or investigations under the suspicion of right-wing extremist attitudes and/or conspiratorial ideological beliefs. This has been reported by the German media "Stern" and "RTL" referring to a questionnaire of 16 Interior Ministries of the states in Germany. The real figure is thought to be higher, because Berlin, Mecklenburg-Pomerania, Thuringia, Bremen have not provided actual figures, it is said.

The Federal Commissioner for Police, Uli Grötsch, announced that "we live in times when right-wing extremists are trying to destabilize the police. According to Grötsch, the risk is as high as ever. "For the whole country. And therefore also for the police."

"Great danger to democracy"

The Minister of the Interior of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Herbert Reul, said that police officers who do not respect the constitution but hold extremist positions are a great danger to democracy and the rule of law." We do not want these people in the police.

There have been investigations into cases of extremism in the security forces in the states or the federation from time to time. In a 2022 report by the Federal Ministry of Internal Affairs, it was announced that within three years, 327 police officers are no longer on duty, because they were linked with evidence to right-wing extremism or were part of " Citizens of the Reich". Another report from 2023 after accusations of racism against the police, it is said that the leading forces of the police, which have been confronted with accusations of racism in the police, have often reacted by saying that it is a matter of special cases, writes the German media "tagesschau ". /DW
