The police do not see themselves in a position to help the health authorities, especially in times of pandemic.
The GdP criticizes Prime Minister Markus Söder.
Erding - What makes containing the corona pandemic so time-consuming is identifying contact persons.
Prime Minister Markus Söder now wants to use 1000 Bavarian police officers for these telephone services.
The police union is critical of this decision.
"We are not not the Corona emergency nail," explains Deputy State Chairman Florian Leitner from Erding.
"We see it very critically."
This "massive administrative assistance", which affects the police sector like no other, would further exacerbate the already tense staff situation and, for example, pose enormous problems for the police headquarters responsible for the populous North of Upper Bavaria, warns Leitner.
"As a guarantor of security and order, especially in times of the corona pandemic, the police are required to monitor and enforce the applicable rules - for the good of our health," emphasized the chief inspector.
At the same time, the police have to ensure that the functionality of the individual departments is maintained in strict compliance with the infection control measures.
The corona virus does not stop at uniforms, "which is why all areas of the public sector should be included in equal parts.
It would be conceivable to reactivate retired police officers as well as pensioners and retirees in the public sector and to involve the Bundeswehr more in the support ”, is Leitner's counter-proposal.
He also recognizes that the "solidarity support of the health authorities is a necessity to cope with the Corona crisis".
"But this must not be done at the expense of internal security," said the service group leader.
For the GdP, the police capability has top priority.
"Because if we fail, nobody will come," emphasizes the state vice-president.
