The Bavarian Police Orchestra is the professional symphonic wind orchestra of the Bavarian Police. It consists of 45 trained professional musicians from seventeen nations and sees itself as a bridge between the police and the public. Since 2006, the ensemble has been under the direction of Johann Mösenbichler, General Music Director of the Bavarian Police. In the service of good causes, the Bavarian Police Orchestra performs up to 50 benefit concerts annually throughout Bavaria, supporting social, charitable, and cultural initiatives. As part of these charity events, the orchestra collaborates with associations, foundations, and cultural and tourism offices, and has raised annual charitable proceeds of over a quarter of a million euros on several occasions. Among its notable references are appearances at the Munich Opera Festival, the World Saxophone Congress in Strasbourg, the German Music Festival, as well as concerts in Berlin, Budapest, Vienna, and Brussels. The Bavarian Police Orchestra is a member of the Bavarian Orchestra Academy.
