Hesse: Retirement: State Police President Ullmann passed

Wiesbaden (dpa/lhe) - The Hessian state police chief Roland Ullmann has retired. "With Roland Ullmann, the Hessian police are not only losing a recognized police expert, but also a highly valued colleague who has always remained a human being," said Interior Minister Peter Beuth (CDU) on the farewell of the 65-year-old in Wiesbaden, according to a statement on Monday.

Ullmann worked for the police for more than 49 years, among other things as a police officer and detective. In 2010 he became chief of police for south-east Hesse, and for the past two years he has headed the Hessian police as state police chief. So far, there is no successor for Ullmann, as a ministry spokesman said.
