One of the main tasks of police victim protection is to provide short-term assistance to those affected by crimes, traffic accidents and other accidents. In personal discussions, we establish what help is needed and can be called upon. We then try to provide appropriate professional help such as the Weißer Ring, traffic accident assistance, advice centers, medical services, etc.
In addition to this task, we also work in support networks and are the point of contact for other authorities, institutions, private individuals, etc. on the subject of police victim protection.
We try to coordinate and optimize internal police procedures in the area of victim protection and victim support.

For specific questions and assistance in the area of police victim protection/victim support, the victim protection officers of the Gelsenkirchen district police authority will be happy to help you.
Traffic accident victim protection
Serious traffic accidents often result in more than just physical injuries. A traffic accident can also cause psychological trauma. This is much more difficult to recognize. Nevertheless, it is immensely important that such trauma is identified and treated promptly if necessary.
The colleagues from the road traffic accident victim protection team are involved after the most serious and fatal road traffic accidents as well as road traffic accidents involving senior citizens or children.
The team provides support, answers questions and tries to refer people to professional facilities, such as the trauma outpatient clinics, church counselors, psychologists in the network, Subvenio, Verkehrsunfall-Opferhilfe Deutschland e.V., Hilfefinder, etc.
If you have the feeling that "your" traffic accident could be relevant for us, simply send us a short email with the file number.
