Security

One of the most important tasks of domestic policy is ensuring public security. It includes protecting the public against violence, crime, terrorism and activities intended to undermine our constitutional order.
Only in a society free of threats can people live in freedom. Germany’s constitution, the Basic Law, requires the government to protect the public. The government has certain powers to be able to do this.
Germany is one of the safest countries in the world. To make sure that it remains safe, the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Community intensively concerns itself with the threats facing our country today and in the coming years. These threats include in particular violent right-wing extremism, Islamist terrorism, crime committed by militant left-wing extremists, internet crime, and serious and organised crime.
