The parliamentary secretary of the Green parliamentary group, Irene Mihalic, is calling for a study on sexism in the police following the presentation of the study on sexual assault in the Bundeswehr. She told Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland that establishing the police commissioner created an important independent body which also does important work in cases of sexism and sexual violence. The latest report from the police commissioner showed how many cases there are in the Federal Police and the Federal Criminal Police Office. Mihalic, who worked as a police officer for a long time herself, added that there must still be a high level of the dark field. A dark field study on sexism in the police forces of the Federal Republic would therefore also be desirable, in order to improve prevention and protection for those affected. Especially in security authorities still dominated by men, women must know that boundary transgressions will not be tolerated and that they will be consistently protected and strengthened. The Federal Police Commissioner, Uli Grötsch, has explained multiple times that sexism is a problem in the police. This became clear to him right at the beginning of his term.
