DESCRIPTION:The following paper is based on interviews conducted in autumn 
 2020 with 28 respondents from across police services of Lower Saxony and N
 orthrhine-Westfalia\, two federal states in Germany. Some of these officer
 s are in training\, some teach in police academies\, others work as front 
 line officers or in management. All were interviewed for a project that ai
 ms to improve understanding of organisational memory in the police. In par
 ticular\, the research investigated different forms of active knowledge in
  the police profession.\nOne of the lines of inquiry concerned the possibl
 e impact of the pandemic on learning processes. Responses strongly suggest
  the “porous passivity” (“löchrige Passivität”) that Stephan Gr
 ünewald (DLF\, 6.3.2021) has found to be the general German public’s re
 sponse to the anti-corona measures. \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 colleagu
 es\, as they regard their job to be a very social one. Third\, many say th
 at the contact between the general public and the police has become more d
 ifficult. This is partly because of the mask that makes non-verbal communi
 cation more complex\, and partly because people might think it too difficu
 lt to contact the police. Fourth\, protection against invisible threats su
 ch as viruses and bacteria had been an issue before corona\, so officers a
 re happy that such issues are finally being taken seriously. Finally\, per
 haps the most interesting responses relate to the impression of at least s
 ome officers that corona measures are imposed from “above” (in the hie
 rarchical sense) and need to be implemented\, but that the real risk is mu
 ch smaller than the political class assumes it to be. \nIn short\, respond
 ents 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.
