Our story
Day in and day out, 1.7 million police officers, firefighters, THW volunteers, paramedics and Federal Criminal Police officers are hard at work protecting the safety and security of Germany’s 83 million people. They go to their limits, especially during a pandemic when they must work in face masks and maintain physical distance to others. Often they must sacrifice their private lives. Time and again, emergency personnel face human suffering, especially during emergency rescues. But giving up is not an option. Here we will show you the people behind the masks and uniforms. You can learn more about their motivation and their everyday working life before and since the outbreak of COVID-19. Or take a look at “Einsatz für die Sicherheit” (Working for Safety), a magazine for classroom use that was developed in cooperation with the publishing company Zeitbild Verlag: sicherheit.bund.de/de/presse
