The report is drawn up by the Bundeskriminalamt (Federal Criminal Police Office - BKA) in co- operation with the Landeskriminalämter (Land Criminal Police Offices - LKÄ), the Zollkriminalamt (Central Office of the German Customs Investigation Service - ZKA) and the Bundespolizeipräsidium (Federal Police Headquarters) on the basis of the working definition of "Organised Crime" developed by the Joint Working Party of the German Police and Judicial Authorities (GAG Justiz/Polizei) in May 19902. In this context, data on OC investigations conducted during the period under review are compiled by applying the same set of criteria throughout the country. The National Situation Report presents the results of law enforcement activities carried out in the field of organised crime. It is a description of the recorded cases, i.e. the crime coming to police notice, but a valid estimation of the possible type and extent of unreported crime cases cannot be deduced from the statistical data. Statements on the development of organised crime are essentially based on the long term monitoring of information relevant to OC. For the first time, this year's National Situation Report on Organised Crime also covers the offences committed by members of ethnically secluded subcultures (so-called clan crime), the involvement of suspected migrants in organised crime and the links between OC and terrorism/politically motivated crime, on the basis of statistically relevant data. 2 Please note the working definition of "Organised Crime" under 3.1.

Organised Crime National Situation Report 2018 6 3 Presentation and Evaluation of the Crime Situation The total number of investigations conducted against OC groups reveals that OC continues to pose an invariably high threat in Germany. In contrast to the previous year under review, the overall number of investigations dropped from 572 to 535 (-6.5 %) in 2018. The numbers of OC investigations developed differently at the 16 Land Criminal Police Offices and the Federal authorities (i.e. Bundeskriminalamt (Federal Criminal Police Office), Bundespolizei (Federal Police), Zollkriminalamt (central office of the German customs investigation service)). Even though the overall assessment shows a decrease, not all authorities involved feature a decline in case numbers. The decrease mainly results from the fact that the number of

  • Top 17 Cases Version 4/27/2020, with Addendum
    2020 DNA Hit of the Year Top 17 Cases Version 4/27/2020, with Addendum * All addenda written by submitters. 1. Headless Outlaw’s Torso in Old Lava Tube Name of Submitter: Clark County Sheriff Bart May Location: Dubois, Idaho, U.S.A. Agency: Clark County Sheriff’s Office, Idaho Date of Crime: 1916 Date and Type of Hit: 2018-2019 (genetic genealogy to match with general family tree); 2018-2019 (familial match with living grandson to confirm family relationship) Executive Summary: 100-year-old unidentified human remains found in an old lava tube in 1979 leads to a cold case identification effort that lasts many years. However, his head was never located, baffling the FBI and other investigators for years. They could only establish that he was of European descent, with reddish-brown hair, and was about 40-years-old at the time of death. His arms, hand, and legs were found in 1991. Over the years, investigators enlisted the help of Idaho State University and its team of forensic genetic genealogists (anthropology students and staffers). This also included experts from the Smithsonian Institution and the FBI. Last year investigators further enlisted the help of the DNA Doe Project, hoping to use DNA and ancestral analysis to identify the man. Experts from Othram, a forensic DNA analysis company, analyzed samples taken from the remains, while a forensic genealogist from the DNA Doe Project worked with her colleagues to build a ‘genealogical tree’. The man’s DNA profile was then uploaded to various genetic genealogy DNA databases for relatives. This led to the man’s living 87-year-old grandson, whose sample was taken and tested to confirm a familial relationship.

In today’s Europe, with its open borders, the face of Customs has changed. Besides collecting taxes and duties on the border, Customs now performs many other im- portant tasks. These include ensuring efficient flows of goods from country to country, safeguarding fair competition, combating illegal work, product piracy and criminality, and working to protect endan- gered species. Customs is a modern, Federal-Government administration serving the country’s economy and operating under the umbrella of the Federal Ministry of Finance . Its range of activities extends from the straightforward provision of services to exercising sovereign juris- diction . As one of the largest of the central government’s agencies, Customs has always adapted to new political and economic devel- opments in a quick and flexible manner .

  • Statewatch Analysis Germany Permanent State of Pre-Emption
    Statewatch analysis Germany Permanent state of pre-emption By Katrin McGauran Reform of the Federal Police Authority is the latest in a series of legal, institutional and technological developments underpinning Germany’s increasingly authoritarian “security architecture”. It has been widely observed that the security architecture of post-Cold War western Europe is defined by a conflation of the police and security services: political intelligence gathering, that is the tailing, bugging, surveillance, data collection and profiling of citizens, has become part and parcel of the modus operandi of police forces. The use of surveillance is not restricted to foreigners or domestic political activists and terrorists, but can now affect the population as a whole. Legally, institutionally and technologically, this development manifests itself in the expansion and merging of databases, 'projects', personnel, remits and police force instruments, with the internal and external security services. One consequence of this conflation of activities is that law enforcement acts in an increasingly repressive and authoritarian fashion towards its own citizens, particularly those who challenge the status quo, such as social movements and investigative journalists. The causalities of this new security architecture are civil liberties and basic democratic rights such as privacy, data protection, the right to protest and freedom of the press, with systematic discrimination against particular groups (political activists and foreigners) profiled as potential terrorist

  • Police Organization and Police Reform in Germany: the Case of North Rhine-Westphalia
    Police Organization and Police Reform in Germany: The Case of North Rhine-Westphalia Bernhard Frevel University of Applied Sciences of Public Administration in North Rhine-Westphalia Philipp Kuschewski German Police University Abstract The police in Germany is mainly a matter of the federal states, called „Länder”, and only the Federal Police (Bundespolizei) and Germany's Fed- eral Criminal Police Office (Bundeskriminalamt) have nationwide, though limited powers and are the responsibility of the German Federal Ministry of the Interior. Because of the important role of the Länder the focus in this article is on one state. North Rhine-Westphalia was chosen as it is the state with the largest number of habitants and of police officers. In the article three main topics are described and analyzed. The first part focuses on the police system and its reform in recent years. The second part shows some more aspects of the modernisation of the police since the 1980s, like the integration of women and ethnic minorities in the police, the different activities to enhance the status of police officers for example by better payment and better training. Also the shifts in the police programme, especially including community policing and crime prevention, are dis- cussed. In the third, the steering of the police will be looked at. In the early 1990s the New Public Management was implemented – but was confronted with great difficulties. The reform in 2007 changed the concept of steering and now favours measuring inputs and outputs instead of outcomes, and benchmarking between the 47 police authorities. Over all it will be shown that the police in North Rhine-Westphalia pro- ceeded with modernisation, civilisation, pluralisation and professionaliza- tion.
