The Germans will help the Swiss police the upcoming 2008 European Championships.
Switzerland is co-hosting with Austria.
The defence ministry announced it would ask Germany to help with manpower for 5,250 working days. That came after a request from Switzerland's regional police directors.
An estimated 228 foreign police officers will be on duty. The majority will come from Germany and be detached to help with security measures in Basel and Zurich. French police will provide support in French-speaking Geneva.
The defence ministry said that none of the matches in Switzerland had been classified as "high risk".
