Improved catering for the riot police in BW!
On March 9, 2025, the Police Headquarters Operations and the Health Promotion Competence Center of the PH Schwäbisch Gmünd announced a significant redesign of the catering for the emergency police of Baden-Württemberg. The aim of this initiative is to improve the nutritional quality of meals and increase the satisfaction of over 1,000 emergency services.
The food provided to these emergency services was thoroughly checked with a comprehensive health and quality analysis. In order to better understand the needs of officers, a survey was conducted among around 1,400 police officers. The results of this survey served as the basis for the new meal plans.
Healthy nutrition in action
The response from emergency services to the new courts is positive; Both the taste and the nutritional composition are very well received. Another exciting element of the initiative is the development of a new planning tool for kitchen employees, which is intended to support efficient catering planning.
Long term strategy
A long-term concept is already being planned that will allow the catering offerings to be flexibly adapted to the respective length of deployment. This project sets new standards in health promotion and nutrition for the Baden-Württemberg riot police and shows how important healthy nutrition is, even under extreme conditions.
This initiative is also seen in the context of the general nutrition strategy of the state of Baden-Württemberg. The State Center for Nutrition (LEn) is the central contact for sustainable and health-promoting nutrition in the region. It includes a competence center for nutritional information and education as well as for community catering. The focus is on shaping modern changes in nutrition from kindergarten to seniors. In addition, the LErn offers scientifically based information as well as target-oriented events and training to promote exchange and networking at the state level .
The collaboration with external partners as well as the coordinated efforts with nutrition centers and district offices underline the importance of a holistic nutrition strategy in Baden-Württemberg, which provides important impetus for improving nutrition in various areas of life .
With these new measures, the Baden-Württemberg riot police show that they not only ensure the safety of citizens, but also actively work on the health and well-being of their own emergency services.
