Hello from Germany!

[Spike1978]

I´m a 29 year old officer from Germany/Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. I joined the police in october 2000. After finishing the Public Administration College in 2003, I worked for 1 1/2 year as shift officer and a half year as a detective for the local CID on the Isle of Ruegen and since 3 years i´m working for the Traffic Control Group. I want know as much as possible about being a police officer in the U.S. and so i´m looking for pen pals in this forum who also want to know also something about the German Police.
I would be really happy about some answers.

Welcome to the forums!

Hey Spike,
Ich Liebe Deutscheland!!! I was an MP for almost 6 years over there mainly around Baaden Wurtemburg. Did some work with Kripo in Heilbronn and was a traffic accident investigator as well.

Hi feldaeger! Baden-Würtemberg? Nice Place to be. And now New Jersey? Do your family live in New Jersey? I´ve read your profile. What stands DHS/ICE for? Here in the forums i found a lot of short forms (like ICE/DHS), i´ve never heard of. Of course it makes me very proud, that you love Germany.

Hi Spike, grüß mir die Insel war 3 Jahre lang im Sommer als Rettungsschwimmer in Binz.
DHS = Department of Homeland Security
ICE `= Immgration and Customs Enforcement = Zollfahndung

Translation:
Hi Spike, send regards to my Island. I was 3 years long over the summer as a lifeguard over there in Binz.

Hi Feldjäger
I grew up in Heilbronn. Where was the MP Station there? I know the old Military Buildings in the Hoover Siedlung at John-F-Kennedy Strasse. Now the most are pulled down, but in a few ist the Police Departement of Heilbronn an the IRS.
I served my basic military duty at the Feldjäger. Now I am at the german customs at the swiss border. so I think we are colleagues.

@ zoellner

Schau an! Und ich dachte, dass ich hier der einzige Deutsche wäre. So kann man sich irren;-)Selbstverständlich leite ich deine Grüße weiter nach Rügen.


Translation:

Look! And i thought i was the only german here. But we all make mistakes. Of course i refer your greetings to the Isle of Ruegen.

@yooper fi:

I´m fine. Thanks for asking and posting in german. Where did you learn it? In the army? Or do you have relatives in Germany?

[scarney]

Wie Gehts!

Wie Gehts. Meine Frau ist von Bitburg. Wir machen Urlaub in Deutschland jedem Paar der Jahre. Entschuldigen Sie mein Deutsch, ist es ein wenig rostiges. Tschuss!

Translation: How are you. My Wife is from Bitburg, Germany. We do go back every couple of years for vacation. Pardon my German, it's kinda rusty. Later.

Hallo Spike, Wie gehts. Meine Frau ist von Ostheim v.d. Rhon. I was stationed in Schweinfurt form 1995 until 2002 with the U.S. Army. I got out of the Army in 2006 and have been a Municipal Police Officer for two years now. Tschuss!

Here´s a Photo which was shot during the last G8-Summit in Heiligendamm.
Me and my crew had to close the Autobahn for a VIP-Convoy...

Welcome from a Scottish Cop!

[Spike1978]

And a "Hello" to Scotland, too. How are you over there? Having nightshift or why you are still up so late at night?

[CopHH]

Hi Spike you´re not the only one from Germany.
If you want to learn something about the police in USA there a many police exchanges possible. Of course the other way (from USA to Germany too).

If you want to know more, let me know. Just send me a mail (in german) and i could tell you something about a police exchange between USA and Germany.

For all other interessted officers too.

Grüße aus Hamburg
