Social media have fundamentally changed our world and our actions and are increasingly shaping everyday police work.
As the number one source of information, social networks are the population's virtual clinical thermometer. No television crew is ready to report faster than the people on the ground with their smartphones.
For some years now, the police have been facing the great challenge of using the highly competitive virtual information market to their advantage. Of course, the aim is not to cut costs, increase profits and sales figures or win new customers. The police want to use social media, for example, to recruit new recruits or provide information in crisis situations. And last but not least, we want to get into conversation with you. Before you visit our website, however, we would like to provide you with some important information on the subject of data protection.
General information on the subject of data protection can be found on the website of the competent supervisory authority for data protection in North Rhine-Westphalia, the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia: www.ldi.nrw.de.

Data protection information for our Facebook page
Data protection in social media is important to us. You should therefore take the time to read the following data protection information before using the links to our Facebook page.
By clicking on “Like”, you become a fan of our page, which is visible to the administrators of the page as well as to your friends and possibly other Facebook users. This applies in particular to “likes” or comments on our posts, which are also visible to non-registered visitors and non-fans of this fan page. Even if you are not or do not become a fan of this page, you can leave comments or “Like” information on our posts that are visible to others and the administrators of the fan page. However, this information is neither analyzed by the administrators nor recorded elsewhere. The statistics that Facebook makes available to the administrators are displayed in aggregated form and do not allow the administrators to draw any conclusions about personal data. In this context, please also note the data usage guidelines at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/ and make the appropriate privacy settings in your account!
Please check carefully what information you publish!
What Facebook learns
It is not known exactly what data Facebook stores in detail and how the company uses this data. What is certain is that Facebook not only stores data that is entered directly by users, but also records the actions of Facebook users - presumably without gaps.
Facebook also learns
the most important data of the computer system from which a user logs into the network - including IP address, processor type and browser version including plug-ins and
every visit to websites (widget data) on which a “Like” button is installed. The IP address is also transmitted. If the visitor to the third-party site is a Facebook user and has already logged in to Facebook from the same computer, Facebook can also determine their identity.
This enables Facebook to investigate the preferences, inclinations and contacts of its users very precisely and beyond Facebook usage.
Important notice:
We expressly reserve the right to remove comments that violate applicable law or morality from this site and to report this to the platform operator. In cases of criminal relevance, this will also result in criminal investigation proceedings. Comments that are not written in German will be deleted if necessary. If comments contain links and/or references to other sites, these will be deleted for security reasons.
