Berlin Police Directorate (LPD)

The Berlin Police Directorate (LPD) unites the five local divisions, the Division of Operations/Traffic Management, the Division of Central Special Services (general) and the Operations Control and Management Centre under one roof.

Berlin is divided into five local police divisions, which differ in geographical size, but have identical structures. They ensure the performance of police duties in the areas of security, crime prevention, traffic safety and prevention.

In addition, police officers are there to protect people by offering services and advice and constantly optimise contact with the general public.

Criminal Investigation Division (LKA)

The Berlin Criminal Investigation Department is, in contrast to other state criminal investigation departments in Germany, an “investigative CID”. It is divided into five investigating and three supporting departments, the Central Office for Prevention and a staff office.

Police Academy

The Police Academy is in charge of education and training.

Central Services Directorate (Dir ZS)

The Division of Central Services is responsible for the logistics of the Berlin police force. Information technology and human ressources also lie within the remit.

International Affairs

The Berlin Police is internationally active in various fields both within the European Union and in third countries. The unit PPr St I 3 – International Affairs in Police Headquarters Staff, is responsible for the implementation of the majority of the activities.
