After a long struggle, the Hünfeld Federal Police Department has now officially commissioned its longed-for third hundred units.
Hünfeld – With the official commissioning of a third operational unit, the Hünfeld Federal Police Department is strengthening its role as an important location for nationwide security operations. On Monday, May 11th, the new unit was ceremoniously commissioned in front of representatives from authorities, politics and society. New colleagues, some of whom will be divided among the new hundred, were already welcomed in March.
According to the Federal Police, the president of the riot police directorate, Jérôme Fuchs, and the deputy department leader, police chief Julian Neumann, symbolically handed over the newly created hundred to the hundred leader René Nelke and his deputy Wolfgang Hesse. The two police chief inspectors received their new back IDs in front of delegations from all Hünfeld units.

In his speech, Fuchs viewed the establishment of the third operational unit as a clear signal of responsibility, commitment and the firm will to actively shape security. “The third operational team in Hünfeld will play an important role in this. It is not just a reinforcement in the area – it is also a promise for the future viability of our organization,” emphasized the President.
According to the Federal Police, the visit by Bundestag member Michael Brand (CDU) highlighted the special, supra-regional significance of the additional hundred at the Hünfeld location. Brand had campaigned in Berlin for the third hundred in Hünfeld. Soloist Dirk Hillebold from the Hanover Federal Police Orchestra provided the musical accompaniment to the ceremony.
As the Hünfeld Federal Police Department reports, almost 750 employees work there, around 680 of them as police officers. They support the federal police departments across Germany in carrying out their tasks and in combating crime through operational and investigation support measures.
According to the Federal Police, other tasks include supporting other federal authorities and the Foreign Office in protecting German missions abroad. In addition, the Hünfeld Federal Police Department regularly helps the state police forces to deal with large-scale situations. The officers also participate in police measures carried out by international organizations abroad and provide assistance in the event of natural disasters or particularly serious accidents.
