Abstract (English):
The article examines the national peculiarities of the activities of public order agencies, which are structural subdivisions of local self-government bodies in Germany. Special attention is paid to their evolutionary development, as a result of which the departments received a number of powers in the field of public security at the municipal level, previously exclusively under the jurisdiction of the police. This redistribution of competencies allowed the police services to focus more on combating serious crimes, while the public order agencies were entrusted with a significant part of the work on the prevention and suppression of administrative offenses and minor offenses in the territory under the jurisdiction of the municipality. The expansion of the powers of municipal departments led to changes in their legal status, equipment and vocational training, in which more time was devoted to improving the skills of physical, special and fire training. For a relatively short period of existence of these bodies, they have become an integral element of the German system of ensuring law and order, giving it the necessary balance in its work at the municipal level.
