The Hamburg police are said to have a lack of winter clothing and equipment. The unions complain, the police leadership denies.
Hamburg – The Hamburg police need more cell phones, tablets and, above all, warm uniforms. At least the German Police Union (DPolG) and the Police Union (GdP) criticize this. According to these, savings are being made in the Hanseatic city at the expense of the police officers. The police leadership denies all allegations.
How contradicting the statements of both sides are, 24hamburg.de * has compared here.
The police command announced through a spokeswoman that the Hamburg police had 3400 service cell phones, which had recently been expanded to include a service app to make work easier. The spokeswoman also emphasized that gloves, jackets and hats would be available for all officers.
The unions complain, however, that there are simply not enough company cell phones and tablets in the emergency vehicle, which complicates everyday work. In addition, there is a lack of winter clothing for officials and the existing uniforms are not as suitable for all purposes in wind and weather as the police like to claim. The interior authorities have crossed a limit and the unions are now calling for adjustments. * 24hamburg.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
