In an emergency

In emergencies in Germany, you can reach the police by calling 110

Information on this page does not lead to a police call. You can find the contact details of the Wuppertal police here.

 

Searches

We refer to our press releases or Internet pages for information on wanted persons. There you will also find information on how you can send us information.

It is expressly desired to share wanted persons published on our Facebook page.

This makes wanted notices known to many people so that you can help the police to solve crimes. No personal data of the wanted persons is published on the Facebook page in the wanted notices.

 

Facebook privacy policy

By clicking on "Like" you become a fan of this 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 "likes" 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 administrators are output in aggregated form and do not allow 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 use.

Important note:
We expressly reserve the right to remove comments that violate applicable law or morality from this page 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 pages, these will be deleted for security reasons.

Twitter privacy policy

With one click you become a follower of this account, which is visible to the administrators of the page as well as to your friends and possibly other Twitter users. This applies in particular to tweets. However, this information is neither analyzed nor recorded elsewhere by the administrators of the police account. The statistics that Twitter makes available to the administrators of the police account are output 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.twitter.com/privacy/ and make the appropriate privacy settings in your account! Please check carefully what information you publish!

What Twitter learns:
It is not known exactly what data Twitter stores in detail and how the company uses this data. What is certain is that Twitter not only stores data that is entered directly by users, but also records the actions of Twitter users - presumably without gaps - and passes it on to third parties. Twitter also learns:

  • the most important data of the computer system (log data) 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 Twitter button is installed. The IP address is also transmitted. If the visitor to the external site is a Twitter user and has already logged in to Twitter from the same computer, Twitter can also determine their identity.

This enables Twitter to examine the preferences, inclinations and contacts of its users very precisely and beyond Twitter usage.

Important note:
We expressly reserve the right to report tweets that violate applicable law or morality to the platform provider and, if necessary, to have them removed from this page. In cases of criminal relevance, this will also result in criminal investigation proceedings. Tweets that are not written in German will be deleted if necessary. If tweets contain links and/or references to other sites, we reserve the right to report these to the platform provider and, if necessary, to delete them for security reasons.
