Dozens of disciplinary proceedings have been launched within the German Federal Police (Bundespolizei) and the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) over the past five years due to lost firearms. Despite repeated incidents, both agencies are refusing to disclose precise figures regarding the number of missing weapons, citing concerns related to “reasons of state welfare.” This lack of transparency has raised questions about the security of sensitive equipment and internal controls within these law enforcement bodies. The repeated losses suggest systemic issues requiring investigation and remediation. Critics argue that public accountability demands a clearer understanding of the scope of the problem and the steps being taken to prevent future incidents. The absence of specific data hinders independent oversight and fuels speculation about potential risks. The ongoing situation underscores a concerning trend in the handling of firearms within Germany’s federal police forces.
