Arrest after car check: Such scenarios will be practiced in the Murnau training center in the future.

The Murnau police station has been at a higher level since yesterday.
The training center was inaugurated in Kemmelpark.
The project cost 14 million euros and was therefore exactly within budget.
More than 500 police officers from three districts will attend the training courses and practice operational scenarios in the future.
Murnau
– Politicians often tend to indulge in superlatives.
Either everything is particularly bad and bad or there is nothing better or nicer.
Measurement and center are often missing.
This time the words said by Bavarian Interior State Secretary Sandro Kirchner were the right ones, even if they were at the upper end of the increase scale.
The CSU man described the new police training center on Murnauer Barbarastraße, which he inaugurated yesterday, as a “jewel and pearl”.
He probably didn't mean the architectural beauty of the functional building.
More like what will happen in the rooms in the future.
“Security in Bavaria is experiencing another milestone here – for the population and the officials.”

The 46 meter long and 18 meter wide building has 1,000 square meters of usable space and includes, among other things, a 25 meter long shooting range in the basement, areas in which a wide variety of scenarios can be rehearsed, including a hall in which controls are practiced, as well as a training room for self-defense and Close combat.
“We cover all conceivable scenarios,” explained Frank Hellwig, vice president of the Upper Bavaria South Police Headquarters, who represented his sick boss Manfred Hauser.

Kirchner, who is from Lower Franconia, accompanied the construction of the building almost up close – there is “nothing comparable” in his region.
His visit yesterday was the third in eleven months.
After various shell construction phases, this time he saw the training center fully functional.
From the end of February, when it begins full operation, the slightly more than 500 officials from the districts of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Weilheim-Schongau and Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen will practice what is their daily bread four times a year: resolving disputes in the family area, control of vehicles, hand-to-hand combat, training with a variety of weapons and first aid.
The guests of honor were presented with samples.
In certain rooms, including a cell, a variety of scenes can be recreated so that the police are prepared for any possible situation.
“We were eagerly awaiting completion,” says Michael Bayerlein, head of the Operational Supplementary Services (OED) unit in Murnau, who heads the operations center.
Bayerlein's OED, a kind of police fire brigade with various units, is responsible for these mandatory training courses and provides the specially trained trainers.
The previous locations where the officers' skills were trained - Schongau, Weilheim and partly in Mittenwald - will be abandoned.
Some of them were only rented and, according to Joachim Loy, head of the Murnau inspection, “no longer up to date”.
The construction, which was built under the direction of the Weilheim State Building Authority, cost 14 million euros.
“We stayed within budget,” says Peter Aumann, head of the building construction department at the Weilheim State Building Authority.
He is proud that this was achieved.
“We were lucky with the company that built the shell.
Their offer was very cheap.
This meant we were able to absorb increases in other areas.” Harald Kühn is also satisfied with this.
He speaks of a myth when it is said that government projects always get out of hand financially.
“The state is also in a position to operate financially decently.”
The Murnau CSU member of the state parliament plays a major role in the realization of the training center.
According to Kirchner, as a member of the Finance Committee, he campaigned “vehemently and successfully” for the release of funds.
Apparently Kühn had foresightedly secured the approximately 2,600 square meter area at the former Kemmel barracks within sight of the police station during his time as mayor of Murnau (1996 to 2002).
His successor Dr.
When he moved to the district administrator position, he said he told Michael Rapp that he wanted to keep the area for as long as possible.
It was Rapp who sold them to the Free State.
At what price?
The current town hall boss Rolf Beuting (ÖDP/Citizens' Forum) cannot name the height.
“That was before my time.” What he does know: “The training center represents a reputation for Murnau.”
