The most important facts in brief:

  • Own-initiated deployments increased from around 13,500 to 19,400. Reasons for this included deployments to investigate ATM blasts and the surveillance of Jewish properties as a result of the Israel-Palestine conflict.
  • The number of violent crimes against police officers increased by 2.6 percent compared to the previous year.
  • On the positive side, the number of injured colleagues fell by 27 percent. Possible reasons for this are the introduction of the obligation to wear bodycams and the possibility of using Tasers.
