Swiss Border Guard and Police Training
Border guard forces need support when refugee immigration increases significantly. Therefore, the (military) police gets specifically trained.
If the border guard corps reaches its limits, it will receive support from the police in the first instance. The tasks the police forces were to take on would be determined by their level of training. D. Balibous / REU
The “refugee crisis” in Germany has shown that when refugee immigration increases significantly, border guard forces need support. Under such a scenario in Switzerland, the Swiss Border Guard (SBG) corps would be supported by the (military) police, who, with their training, have a number of relevant capabilities. However, their deployability is limited.
