Gera (dpa/th) - The senior police director Matthias Zacher was officially installed in Gera on Friday. The 49-year-old leads the state police inspection in Gera and is in charge of more than 700 officials, according to the Interior Ministry and state police. The State Police Inspectorate is responsible for the districts of Greiz and Altenburger Land as well as the independent city of Gera.
Zacher had already taken over the office in November last year after the previous head of the agency, André Röder, retired in March 2021. Before moving to Gera, Zacher headed the State Police Inspectorate in Saalfeld. From 2016 to 2018 he was head of the Thuringian motorway police.
