What can I expect when working as a police doctor?

As a specialist in an area of direct patient care, you will bring a broad range of medical knowledge and clinical experience to your new role. Ideally, you will have knowledge of emergency medicine.

As a police doctor, you will get to know the diverse and varied activities in which the employees of the NRW police are involved: whether in the security service, the criminal investigation service, the traffic service, the task force or the special units; but also in the administration, the janitor service or the forensic investigation unit.

On site, you will be responsible for managing an appropriately equipped police medical service with qualified medical staff. You will be networked with a total of 35 police medical colleagues throughout the country.
