The Ministry and the police stations welcome this form of constructive cooperation. Cooperation and good equipment Very frequently, the commissions praised the exemplary willingness to cooperate, the harmonious working atmosphere, the faultless documentation of official acts and detentions, the gender balance among the law enforcement officers, clean and well-equipped cells as well as barrier-free and contemporarily designed police stations. Sonnenallee police station On their monitoring visit to Sonnenallee police station, the commission was impressed by the particular commitment of a district police officer within the framework of his preventive work. Enkplatz police station In addition to the use of the supervision programme at Enkplatz police station, the commission praised the good leadership by the commander, to whom the respectful treatment of detainees is important.
