president dr
Blümel, who led the operation on the occasion of the G7 summit, is very satisfied: "After months of intensive preparations, one of the largest federal police operations in Bavaria in years has been successfully carried out.
The Federal Police Headquarters in Munich was deployed with a total of around 7,000 employees.
With our border and rail police measures, we have ensured trouble-free travel to and from the G7 summit events.
On the other hand, the federal police made a significant contribution to the security of the population in the event region and to the security of the G7 summit in Elmau.” He thanked all partners, in particular the Bavarian state police, customs, THW and the Austrian police.
