Evaluation of five authorisation standards (Sec. 21(2) and (3), Sec. 57(4), Sec. 58, Sec. 59 and Sec. 61) of the Saxony Police Act (Sächsische Polizeivollzugsdienstgesetz - SächsPVDG).

The Free State of Saxony revised its police law with the Act on the Restructuring of Police Law of May 11, 2019. Among other things, various legal provisions on police powers were adjusted and expanded, primarily to take into account technological developments, a changed threat situation, and evolving constitutional and data protection requirements. Five legal provisions of the Saxon police law (SächsPVDG), which were amended, include a statutory requirement for evaluation. The Saxon State Ministry of the Interior commissioned the NIPAG to carry out the evaluation project.
As part of the evaluation, the provisions and the police measures based on them were analyzed in terms of their effectiveness and efficiency, unintended side and follow-up effects, practicality and acceptance, as well as implementation challenges and success factors. Additionally, an assessment was conducted regarding the necessity of four of the five provisions.The data required for the evaluation were collected using qualitative and quantitative research instruments.

The first evaluation report was submitted to the client in September 2022. The second report was submitted in August 2024. The project concluded with the submission of the final evaluation report in June 2025.

The State Ministry of the Interior reports the results of the evaluation to the State Parliament.
