In May 2005, the paramilitary Bundesgrenzschutz (German Federal Border Guard) was united with Bahnpolizei (train police, for trainstions and trains) and renamed to the Bundespolizei (“Federal Police”) to reflect new responsibilities for domestic security that combine law enforcement and intelligence. The organization not only is responsible for protecting the country’s borders but also participates in United Nations Peacekeeping missions and supports intelligence-gathering activities. Border Security Troop 9 is a special unit that was created for preventing hostage incidents, assassinations, and organized crime. Former German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher established the unit after the Terrorist Attack On Israeli Athletes at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich . REFERENCE |
