The German Federal Police, known as Bundespolizei, is a federal law enforcement agency in Germany. It is responsible for maintaining public safety, border security, and combating organized crime. The agency operates under the jurisdiction of the Federal Ministry of the Interior and works closely with other law enforcement agencies at both national and international levels. Established in 2005, the Bundespolizei evolved from the former Federal Border Police. Its duties include protecting transportation systems, such as airports and railways, and managing immigration control. The agency also plays a vital role in counter-terrorism efforts and ensuring the safety of major events and public gatherings.
