Mettmann district police authority now has its own WhatsApp channel

As the Mettmann district police authority, we regularly provide citizens and journalists with important information. In addition to our traditional website, we have been using Facebook, Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) for several years.

Today, we launched our own WhatsApp channel so that we can keep even more people up to date with important and interesting police reports.

You can receive the latest press releases, searches, images and short videos here. You will also be provided with the latest information on current operations that affect you as citizens in Mettmann.

We cordially invite you to subscribe to our WhatsApp channel at the following link:

Alternatively, you can scan the attached QR code. You are welcome to share both the link and the code.

Here are some important notes on the WhatsApp channel:

• Unlike other social 
  media, the channel is a one-way communication channel. There is no chat or 
  comment function. However, you can respond to posts 
  with emojis by tapping and holding on a post.
• As the owner of the channel, we can only see how many 
  subscribers we have. We do not see your 
  name or your phone number.
• We can and will never write you private messages on 
  WhatsApp. If someone writes to you anyway and 
  claims to be from the police, they are 
  suspected fraudsters.
• Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to find our channel using the
  search function. We are working on this. Until then, it is only
  possible to subscribe to the channel via the link or QR code.
