Arrest unit

Evidence and arrest units (German: Beweissicherungs- und Festnahmeeinheiten lit. Units for arrests and securing evidence, abbreviated BFE or BFHu) are special units of the German state police forces Landespolizei and the German Federal Police.[1]

A BFE unit of the German Federal Police demonstrates an arrest during a police show in Hannover.

These units were established in 1987 after the deaths of two police officers during the demonstrations against the expansion of Frankfurt Airport.[2]
