However, in countless continued conflicts large and small, people are being killed, maimed or injured, landscapes and cultural treasures are being destroyed, defaced and damaged, and national assets and resources are being plundered and squandered. In land-based operations to defeat these threats and their accompanying realities, the focus falls on soldiers, security forces and first responders who – often at the risk of their own lives – protect people, enforce justice and guard assets on behalf of their governments. These are dangerous jobs, and there is a clear duty of care upon the employers for the health and well-being of their “human assets”.

By 1752, there was a garrison on Letort Creek at what is today Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. In those days, Carlisle Barracks lay at the western edge of the American colonies. It was a bastion for the protection of settlers and a departure point for further exploration. Today, as was the case over two centuries ago, Carlisle Barracks, as the home of the U.S. Army War College, is a place of transition and transformation. In the same spirit of bold curiosity that compelled the men and women who, like Letort, settled the American West, the Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) presents The Letort Papers. This series allows SSI to publish papers, retrospectives, speeches, or essays of interest to the defense academic community which may not correspond with our mainstream policy-oriented publications.

  • German State Police
    Law Enforcement in Germany Landespolizei – State Police Overview The maintenance of public security and order is one of the most important tasks of any government. In the Federal Republic of Germany (Bundesrepublik Deutschland) it is carried out by both Federal States (Länder) and the Federal Government (Bund). By Constitution (Grundgesetz) the police are under the jurisdiction of the Republic’s 16 States; only in certain areas does the Constitution assign responsibility to the Federal Government. Each state promulgates a law which lays down the organisation and duties of its police (Landespolizeigesetz or Sicherheits- und Ordnungsgesetz). Although the State Police are regulated by sixteen different legislatures and are, in fact, different police services, there has been an increasing tendency toward standardisation of police activities nationwide. Concerns about terrorism and the growth of organized crime have strengthened the movement to centralise police procedures and operations. The idea of creating one single police code for the whole of Germany (allgemeines Polizeigesetz) came up in the 1960s but was never passed. Landespolizei – State Police of the Federal Republic of Germany The Landespolizei can trace its origins to 19th century Germany when the various German kingdoms maintained separate police forces, the two largest of which were the Prussian Secret Police and the Bavarian State Police. When Germany united into a single country, under Otto von Bismarck, the various kingdoms and other state level police agencies maintained their Landespolizei forces. However as the increasing number of new laws and regulations made controlling urban life more complicated various towns and cities also established local (separate) police forces.
