How to Find the Police Department in Central Heidelberg, Germany

The police department in Heidelberg, called the Polizeidirektion, is the largest police department in Land Baden-Wurttemberg and has over 1,000 employees. If you need to visit the police department for any reason, you can reach it by car, tram or S-bahn (suburban metro railways). The German public transportation system is very easy to use and you should be able to navigate it even if you cannot speak a word of German. If you have an emergency, though, do not hesitate to call the police and ask them to come to you.
