A change took place at the top of the Lippe district police authority at the end of October this year. Senior police officer Alexander Fenske is the new head of the police department. His predecessor, Police Director Margit Picker, has left the authority and is now Head of the Traffic Directorate at Bielefeld Police Headquarters. This change was accompanied by a promotion for her.
The 49-year-old Fenske began his training as an intermediate police officer in 1992 in Wuppertal. He then worked for a short time in the riot police. From 1995 to 1998, he was deployed as a security guard at Wuppertal police headquarters and at the district police authority in Paderborn.
In October 1998, he began his training as a senior police officer at the University of Applied Sciences for Public Administration in Bielefeld. He successfully completed this in 2000 and was subsequently deployed in management positions in the guard and change service at the police in Paderborn until 2011.
Alexander Fenske completed his studies at the German Police University in September 2015 with a Master of Arts (M. A.). He then headed the Crime Directorate at the Höxter District Police Department as a criminal councillor. In 2018, POR Fenske moved to the State Office for Training, Further Education and Personnel Affairs of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia. In Schloß-Holte Stukenbrock, he was head of Department 43 (Bachelor training).
Since October of this year, the married father of two adult children, who lives in Brakel, has been head of the Lippe police department and thus head of all police officers in the district. District Administrator and Head of Department Dr. Axel Lehmann warmly welcomed POR Fenske and wished him all the best for his future work.
"In my new role, I want to be guided by respect, appreciation and transparency and focus on the future challenges facing the police. I am very much looking forward to working with my new colleagues in beautiful Lippe," says POR Fenske.
