There are several German communities with large Turkish populations...and the authorities have come to note over the past couple of years that crime committed by the new immigrants is now becoming a problem.
The German cops have tried a couple of different things but there's no real change in behavior, nor any change to the statistics. So, the German authorities are now examining a new and bold move...Turkish cops from Turkey.
You can imagine this scenario having some consequences and disbelief from the local German populations.
Based on comments, the impression is that the Turkish cops will be a temporary situation and ride with another German cop. Nobody has said anything about them being armed, and it would be curious what arrangement is going to be made about this. Turkish cops normally carry weapons and I'm betting that they demand that privilege in this case.
As for the outcome? I've been to Turkey and watched cops function there. You basically don't screw around or raise your voice. They ask direct questions and you'd best just comply and hope that nothing major occurs. I'm thinking these new immigrant Turks with issues in complying with German cops....are going to find a very difficult situation with the new cops.
German residents may dislike this greatly but frankly, there's not much left in the bag of tricks for the authorities to try. And if this doesn't work, they might as well admit defeat.
