The Federal Police is growing. An unprecedented number of new employees is presenting the Federal Police with major challenges at all levels. The new colleagues are rightly entitled to be trained in a targeted manner and "taken along". A joint project with representatives from all areas of the Federal Police, including staff representatives and equal opportunities, is dedicated to this challenge. But how can new employees be integrated sustainably, especially in the Federal Police? This question forms the core of the "Integration of new employees" project led by PD Dr. Schmelzer. The team of authors outlines the structure and process of the project and presents initial project results on the way to uniform minimum standards throughout the Federal Police. Key topics such as the importance of leadership and cooperation in the context of the induction of new personnel are underpinned and illustrated with the survey results achieved to date. Candidates and career graduates as current and future employees as well as existing employees, the "regular officers", play a central role in this.
