Police Commissioner Tim Frommeyer has headed the authority since January 12, 2024. 

The management team reports directly to the head of the authority. It is divided into three divisions:

Division 1

Division 1 advises and supports the head of the authority in all central management tasks.

The main focus here is on fundamental issues as well as cross-directorate and strategic matters.

The main areas of responsibility include:

• Strategy development to manage core police tasks in the areas of emergency response, operational management, crime and traffic accident development
• Strategic and, in individual cases, operational authority controlling
• Initiating and accompanying change processes

Division 2

Press relations

The press office is generally responsible for the cooperation between the Gelsenkirchen police and the media.
It is the link between the police headquarters and the media and informs the authority about media coverage on the one hand and the media about police work on the other.
In principle, the press office is responsible for looking after media representatives.

The press releases of the Gelsenkirchen police can be found here.
