The German Police Trade Union (GdP) has joined the German Federal Association of Professional Mobile Radio (PMeV). Regarding this accession of his Union, Alexander Poitz, federal deputy chairman of the GdP, explains:

“High-performance and future-proof mission-critical communication systems are of utmost importance for guaranteeing internal security in Germany.  For this reason, we want to support the work of the PMeV as an alliance of providers and users of mission-critical communication systems and contribute our knowledge and experience from the perspective of a user organization.” 

The PMeV is an association of leading suppliers and users of communication systems and solutions for mission- and business-critical mobile communication. The GdP represents the occupational, societal, economic, ecological, social and cultural interests of the entire workforce and former employees of the police. It stands up at all political levels and in the staff council work of the police for the improvement of the occupational situation of all police employees. The GdP Union has more than 210.000 members all over Germany.  

Impulses for the future of mission-critical communication from the user’s perspective 

“We are very pleased that the Police Trade Union as one of the largest and most important user groups of mission-critical communication systems and essential for public security is now being a member of our Association. We are confident that this cooperation will provide us with strong impulses from the user’s perspective regarding the further development of secure and highly reliable communication in Germany”,

says Bernhard Klinger, Chairman of the PMeV Board of Management, and is delighted to have won this strong strategic partner for the association work. 

The PMeV brings together suppliers and users to jointly discuss opportunities and risks of various solution approaches and concepts and evaluate different technologies and technical solutions. The Association provides a forum for a neutral, manufacturer-independent and partnership-based dialog.
