This led to a perfect storm which all involved were very frustrated about.

The BuPo supervision is mandated by law. An airport operator cannot just decide to do the job without any law enforcement present.

Thanks for confirming what I suspected, I was really puzzled how FRA could decide to remove law enforcement, either by their presence or as part of the responsability chain.
What I would expect is that FRAPORT become involved in setting up KPI and making sure those are met regarding passenger inflow, waiting time, etc ...
