It had already been announced for 2021 – this year it should finally get off the ground: That is, the independent complaints counter for cases of police brutality. As learned from well-informed circles on Thursday, the project from the turquoise-green coalition agreement will be legally implemented at the beginning of the second half of the year. It will probably take a while before the complaints office actually gets to work…
In any case, it would take several months to establish organizational structures before the complaints office could actually take action. The Ministry of the Interior expects the complaints office to specialize and professionalize its investigation into possible police burglaries.
The ministry recently attributed the delays in the set-up to the corona pandemic.
Demand for independence and freedom of instruction
Human rights organizations and NGOs have for years demanded that alleged or proven police violence be investigated independently and without instructions, and have criticized the fact that the police continue to investigate their own colleagues in such cases.
