Volksempty (Wasserschutzpolizei)

Volksempty refers to the German term for "people's service" and is associated with the Wasserschutzpolizei, or Water Police, which is responsible for maintaining safety and order on Germany's waterways. This police force ensures the enforcement of laws concerning navigation, environmental protection, and crime prevention on rivers, lakes, and coastal areas. They conduct patrols, carry out inspections, and respond to emergencies, helping to secure both public safety and ecological welfare. Essentially, it combines law enforcement with community service for the protection of water-related activities.
