Germany is a federal republic of sixteen states. Each of those states has its own police force (Polizei in German). Each is supervised by the Minister (or, in Bremen, Hamburg and Berlin, the Senator) of Internal Affairs of the state.

Although uniforms and vehicle colour schemes are similar all over Germany, the police forces are structured slightly differently in each state. For example, the Kriminalpolizei (detective branch, also known as Kripo) are part of the ordinary police force in some states and separate organizations in others.

In addition, the Federal Government has a Police, called the Bundespolizei (Federal Police). Until 2005 it was called Bundesgrenzschutz (Federal Border Protection), but after expanded competence in the 1990s and the abolition of border controls in the European Union, its name was changed. The main acting field of the Bundespolizei today are train staitons, airports and the areas close to the border.

The German Federal Railways also had its own police force, the Bahnpolizei, similar in role to the UK's British Transport Police. When the railways were privatised in the 1990s, the Bahnpolizei was assimilated into the Bundesgrenzschutz, since executive power in Germany is only permitted by law to be under government control. Private police forces are therefore not allowed in Germany.

Due to the idea of using the same color of police uniforms and vehicles throughout the European Union, the German police have in the last few years begun to slowly change from white/green to silver/blue. Hamburg was the first state to make the transition. In the most states since 2004 new cars have the new painting.

Before German reunification on 3 October 1990, the German Democratic Republic was policed by the Volkspolizei.
