New watch manager in Blomberg.

On Friday, 28 April 2023, the new head of the Blomberg police station, Police Chief Superintendent Maik Reese, was presented to the public by the head of the authority, Dr. Axel Lehmann, and the head of Directorate G/E (Hazard Prevention/Employment), Police Director Christian Peters. At the press conference, the head of the authority, Dr. Axel Lehmann, and police director Christian Peters welcomed the new watch manager and highlighted his outstanding role in the region.
From now on, Reese will be responsible for the guard and district service in Blomberg, Lügde, Schieder-Schwalenberg and Horn-Bad Meinberg. This is an area of around 400 square kilometers and with a population of around 53,000 people. Reese is supported by five district service officers and around 20 police officers from the security service.
Reese's duties include maintaining relationships with other organizations such as the public order office, fire departments, youth and social services, schools, churches and local clubs. He is also the contact person for other police departments and for crime hotspots and special operations. Dr. Axel Lehmann emphasized that Reese is the "face of the police in south-east Lippe" and wished him that certain "bit of luck".
Police Director Christian Peters emphasized the outstanding position and function of the watch commander. He could look forward to having such "good, highly motivated, exemplary staff" in Blomberg. Peters praised the work of Reese's predecessor Axel Korf, who has moved to the control center. Maik Reese emphasized that he could only benefit from the good network work of his predecessor.
Maik Reese is 47 years old, married and has two daughters. He grew up in Barntrup and completed his police training in Schloß-Holte Stukenbrock between 1997 and 1999. After his first assignment in Lüdenscheid, his professional career quickly took him back to his home region of Lippe. From 2003 to 2013, he mainly worked as a security guard at Detmold police station. In 2013, he moved to Bad Salzuflen police station and became a watch commander. Just three years later, he became duty group leader in Blomberg. In 2019, he moved to Detmold again and was duty group leader there until the end. He has now been back in Blomberg since March 1, 2023, but this time as watch manager.
"I'm looking forward to new tasks and challenges and I'm sure that they will broaden my horizons in a positive way," summarizes the new watch manager in Blomberg. One media representative joked that if the preparations with Reese for the shooting festival go well, he will at least have "a stone in the board" with the people of Blomberg.
