Polizei Brandenburg

What Polizei Brandenburg does

Polizei Brandenburg is the official state police force (Landespolizei) of the German state of Brandenburg, operating under the Brandenburg State Ministry of the Interior and headquartered in Potsdam. It provides constitutional law enforcement services including 24/7 emergency response (Notruf 110), criminal investigation, crime prevention, victim protection, traffic safety enforcement, missing persons coordination, and public safety education. The agency serves approximately 2.5 million residents of Brandenburg through a network of physical police stations (Dienststellen), a citizen hotline (Bürgertelefon), and digital platforms.

The agency's core technology infrastructure centers on the Onlinewache portal — a centralized digital platform for online criminal complaint filing, tip submission, and remote access to police services, recently migrated to a new criminal report backend. This is supplemented by integrated modules for traffic warnings (Verkehrswarnungen), traffic fine calculation (Bußgeldrechner), speed camera photo viewing (Blitzerfoto), water level monitoring (Pegelstände), forest fire danger levels (Waldbrandgefahrenstufen), and a public Fahndungen database linked to BKA federal criminal databases. Specialized sub-brands include the Landespolizeiorchester (professional orchestra with up to 100 annual performances), Hochschule der Polizei Brandenburg (police university), and the Karriereportal for recruitment. Digital prevention programs such as Digitale Elternabende and dedicated services for Ukrainian refugees extend the agency's citizen-facing product surface.

The business model is entirely publicly funded through state taxation and government budget allocations, with no commercial revenue streams. Limited fee-based services exist (e.g., speed camera photo requests, administrative fines/Bußgelder). Customer segments span all Brandenburg residents — citizens, crime victims, witnesses, traffic participants, and job seekers — served through a hybrid segmentation approach combining geographic coverage with persona-specific service pathways.

Direct peers

• Bayerische Polizei: State police of Bavaria and the largest German Landespolizei. Operates an equivalent Onlinewache-style digital portal (online-strafanzeige.de) and matching citizen-services portfolio, serving as the benchmark for digital service delivery among state police forces.
• Polizei Hamburg: State police of the city-state of Hamburg. Operates comparable Onlinewache infrastructure, citizen hotline, and digital Fahndungen services; a compact urban-state police force with structural parallels to Brandenburg's regional mandate.

Operates a comparable Onlinewache digital platform and shares Brandenburg's rural/sparse-population operating context with similar multi-channel citizen engagement requirements.
