Polizei Sachsen

What Polizei Sachsen does

Polizei Sachsen is the state-level law enforcement agency of the Free State of Saxony (Freistaat Sachsen), Germany, operating under the supervisory authority of the Sächsisches Staatsministerium des Innern. It delivers public safety, crime prevention, criminal investigation, and emergency-response services to the citizens of Saxony across five regional Polizeidirektionen (Dresden, Leipzig, Chemnitz, Zwickau, Görlitz), supported by the Landeskriminalamt Sachsen and the Polizeipräsidium für Service und IT. Specialized units include the SEK, Bereitschaftspolizei, Wasserschutzpolizei, Polizeireiterstaffel, and Hubschrauberstaffel, with the air fleet modernized in June 2026 through three new H145 helicopters.

The organization runs a vertically integrated training and education infrastructure comprising three Polizeifachschulen (Chemnitz, Schneeberg, Leipzig) for middle-grade officers, the Hochschule der Sächsischen Polizei (FH) in Rothenburg for police-commissioner degree programs, and the Fortbildungszentrum Bautzen for continuing education. Following a 2024 reform, the LG 1.2 training duration was extended from 2.5 to 3 years. Civilian employment exceeds 2,400 staff in IT, administrative, medical, legal, and engineering roles. Recruitment operates through an extensive multi-channel program — the verdächtig-gute-jobs.de portal, the PolizeiFunk podcast (~300,000 downloads), the #DEINEINSATZ newsletter, social channels, school programs, and job fairs — and includes a Sportfördergruppe supporting 43 elite athletes.

The business model is non-commercial: revenue is fully funded by the Saxon state budget rather than market sales, and there is no venture capital, private equity, or independent corporate ownership. Core partnerships are operational rather than strategic — Heimrich & Hannot GmbH for website development and Hetzner Online GmbH for ISO 27001-certified server hosting within Germany. The agency head is Landespolizeipräsident Jörg Kubiessa.
