Current research projects
The members of FÖPS Berlin conduct research on a wide variety of topics in the field of police and security research. In addition to police research and data protection, the research institute’s broad portfolio includes prevention and evaluation research, police hazard prevention, and crisis and disaster management. In addition, the law of vehicle automation is a further subject area.
