In the recent years the police in Germany have been given higher status by eliminating lower ranks and making it possible for new recruits to start with a "commissioned officer'' rank which means at the level of a lieutenant. This has been done in order to give them more salary and give recognition to the complexity of street‐level police work. The paper examines whether this change is bringing about positive results, particularly in narrowing the gap between the police and the public which has been a historically significant challenge for the police in Germany.
