The press and public relations work of the North Rhine-Westphalian police makes an active contribution to an open flow of information. To ensure successful press and media work, the police have set up press and specialist public relations offices throughout the state.
The NRW police use social networks to reach more people than almost any other medium. Practically in real time. Facebook, X, Instagram and co. also offer the opportunity to talk to people. This means that this communication channel is not a one-way street.
