CONSOLIDATION EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 1974 OF POLICE AGENCIES IN THE METROPOLITAN AREAS OF FIVE LARGE CITIES IN THE STATE (LAND) OF HESSE UNDER COORDINATED, STATE-WIDE ORGANIZATION.
Abstract
THE CITIES INVOLVED ARE THOSE NOT POLITICALLY INCORPORATED INTO SURROUNDING COUNTIES. THE CONSOLIDATIONS ARE DESIGNED TO FACILITATE A MORE RATIONAL AND EFFECTIVE USE OF RESOURCES IN THE METROPOLITAN AREAS. THE PLAN WAS BASED ON THE ANALYSIS OF THE GEOGRAPHY OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES AND POLICE RESOURCES. STATE LEGISLATION ALSO PROVIDES FOR THE CONSOLIDATION OF COUNTY (KREIS) POLICE RESOURCES INTO UNDER STATE-WIDE ORGANIZATION WHEN NECESSARY. --IN GERMAN
