Arrest unit

Evidence and arrest units (German: Beweissicherungs- und Festnahmeeinheiten lit. Units for arrests and securing evidence, abbreviated BFE or BFHu) are special units of the German state police forces Landespolizei and the German Federal Police.

These units were established in 1987 after the deaths of two police officers during the demonstrations against the expansion of Frankfurt Airport.
