Kurtz Investigations Nuremberg is pleased and proud to report that Patrick Kurtz has today become a member of the German Society of Criminalistics. As a result, Kurtz Detective Agency Nuremberg will in future orient itself even more strongly towards the standards developed and set by the DGfK and will endeavour, as a supporter, to help raise the catastrophically low standing of criminalistics in Germany.
What many Germans do not know is this: following reunification, the excellent criminalistics training programmes of the former GDR and the study of criminalistics in the Federal Republic of Germany were abolished. Since then, Germany has no longer provided focused training in criminalistics. The criminal police as an independent branch of police career structures was dissolved.
One of the main objectives of the DGfK is the re-establishment of criminalistics training in the Federal Republic of Germany. A first step has been taken with the Master’s degree programme “Criminal Investigation (Criminalistics)” at Steinbeis University Berlin. However, with tuition fees of 29,000 euros until completion within the standard period of study, criminalistics remains, for the time being, a discipline for only a few. Further measures will be required in the future, above all from the political sphere. The DGfK and Kurtz Investigations Nuremberg are committed to helping bring these measures to fruition.
