New Super Recogniser Unit in Offenburg, Germany
/The police in Offenburg, in the south west of Germany near the border with France, are the latest law enforcement agency to identify and utilise officers with the Super Recogniser skill. Out of a work force of over 1500 staff, 35 Super Recognisers were found after extensive testing by Professor Josh Davis, an Honorary Fellow of the Association.
The article below notes that “On 18 February 2022, Police Vice President Jürgen Rieger and Criminal Director Hans-Martin Berl were able to present the certificates to the 35 employees from the entire Offenburg police headquarters in two small ceremonies. "We hope that their special skills will enable us to further professionalize our work for the benefit and safety of our citizens," said Police Vice President Jürgen Rieger.”
The Association praises this German Police Force for its innovation and looks forward to seeing the results from the new Super Recogniser team.
