Jolanta Bialas has taken on the leadership role for the Transport Directorate at Dortmund's police headquarters.
New Leadership Takes Over at PP Dortmund's Traffic Division
After a tenure of nearly 10 years as head and 7 years as deputy head, Ralf Ziegler has retired from his position at the Traffic Division of the Dortmund Police Headquarters. His retirement was marked by an event attended by internal and external guests on April 30.
Ziegler's tenure was marked by a focus on traffic accident prevention, particularly the development of the "Crash Course" program. He also advocated for the introduction of a VU team and worked tirelessly to combat the poser, speeder, and tuner scene.
Taking over from Ziegler as the new head of the Traffic Division at the PP Dortmund is Jolanta Bialas. Bialas assumed the position on May 1.
Bialas brings a wealth of experience to her new role, having previously served at the PP Wuppertal as a death and arson investigator, and in the leadership unit of the Division for Danger Prevention/Deployment in the PP Düsseldorf. In 2017, she was promoted to the higher service and moved to the North Rhine-Westphalia Ministry of the Interior, Department 413, with a focus on special deployments (BAO).
Meanwhile, Achim Stankowitz has been appointed as the new deputy head of the authority. Stankowitz has experience in leading a division within the Dortmund Police Headquarters, having headed the Division for Danger Prevention/Deployment since 2021.
The search results do not provide any information on the background or focus of Bialas and Stankowitz in their specified positions at PP Dortmund. More specific or local sources such as official PP Dortmund announcements or local news outlets might provide those details.
Ralf Ziegler served a total of 42 years in the North Rhine-Westphalia police, making significant contributions to the Traffic Division and the wider police force. His retirement marks a new chapter for the Traffic Division at the Dortmund Police Headquarters, with Bialas and Stankowitz at the helm.
Industry: Jolanta Bialas, with her extensive background in various policing roles, might bring a fresh perspective to the Traffic Division as she transitions from her previous position in the PP Wuppertal to the PP Dortmund, potentially influencing innovation within the finance and transportation sectors.
Finance: Achim Stankowitz, who has demonstrated leadership skills in his previous role heading the Division for Danger Prevention/Deployment, could utilize these skills to effectively manage budget and resources in his new position as deputy head of the authority. His efficiency could lead to improved operations for the Traffic Division.
