    "abstract": "The following paper is based on interviews conducted in autumn 2020 with 28 respondents from across police services of Lower Saxony and Northrhine-Westfalia, two federal states in Germany. Some of these officers are in training, some teach in police academies, others work as front line officers or in management. All were interviewed for a project that aims to improve understanding of organisational memory in the police. In particular, the research investigated different forms of active knowledge in the police profession.\r\nOne of the lines of inquiry concerned the possible impact of the pandemic on learning processes. Responses strongly suggest the “porous passivity” (“löchrige Passivität”) that Stephan Grünewald (DLF, 6.3.2021) has found to be the general German public’s response to the anti-corona measures. \r\nWe found there to be five different, but not mutually-exclusive, aspects of responses to the pandemic. First, there is an impression that police work has not changed much due to the pandemic. Second, police officers greatly miss being with their colleagues, as they regard their job to be a very social one. Third, many say that the contact between the general public and the police has become more difficult. This is partly because of the mask that makes non-verbal communication more complex, and partly because people might think it too difficult to contact the police. Fourth, protection against invisible threats such as viruses and bacteria had been an issue before corona, so officers are happy that such issues are finally being taken seriously. Finally, perhaps the most interesting responses relate to the impression of at least some officers that corona measures are imposed from “above” (in the hierarchical sense) and need to be implemented, but that the real risk is much smaller than the political class assumes it to be. \r\nIn short, respondents do not seem to see much learning during the pandemic, but there is a yearning from many to once again be regularly “out there on the street,” and many are not convinced that the threat is all that dangerous.",
