📋 Tender Overview
Bavaria has the safest cities in Germany - both among cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants and among cities with more than 200,000 inhabitants. This is the result of a nationwide city comparison based on the police crime statistics (PKS), which the Federal Criminal Police Office presented for 2023. Bavaria's Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann : "As in the previous year, Fürth and Erlangen take first and second place in the comparison of all 81 cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants in Germany. Munich is again in first place among the 40 German cities with more than 200,000 inhabitants. In this ranking of cities with more than 200,000 inhabitants, Augsburg takes second place, while Nuremberg has improved to fifth place." Herrmann congratulates the cities on this consistent success: "These above-average results for Bavaria show that our Bavarian policy of security through strength is successful."
According to Herrmann, the Free State of Bavaria demonstrates year after year that more security is possible than in other parts of Germany: "With the lowest crime rate and the highest crime clearance rate, Bavaria was once again the German champion in terms of internal security in 2023 compared to the rest of the country!" said the Bavarian Interior Minister. "In Bavaria, we have made it our mission not only to maintain the high standard of security, but to constantly improve it." According to the minister, the excellent security situation in Bavaria is the result of consistent policies and targeted measures.
It is therefore also important to further strengthen the Bavarian police with state-of-the-art equipment and innovative technology, as well as to continuously increase the number of staff. "We strengthened the Bavarian police with a total of 8,000 additional positions between 2008 and 2023. This is unique in Germany and a clear reason for our success," said Herrmann. "The number of positions is to be expanded by a further 2,000 by 2028, bringing the total to around 47,000 positions for all employees of the Bavarian police."
