Bundesgrenzschutz Bundesgrenzschutz (BGS; English: Federal Border Guard ) was the first federal police organization in West Germany after World War II permitted by the Allied occupation authorities. In July 2005, the BGS was renamed "Bundespolizei" (Federal Police) to reflect its transition to a multi-faceted police agency.
