Information on reporting

The State Office of Criminal Investigations (LKA) always forwards reports and information to the district police authority responsible for processing them. Enquiries can thus only be answered by the relevant district police authority.

Notes on using the site

The Ministry takes great care in compiling the information for the NRW Police’s Online Police Station and endeavours to ensure that it is up-to-date, correct and complete. All content is intended for general information purposes and does not constitute a business, legal or other counselling service. The Ministry does not assume any guarantee and is not liable for any material or non-material damage caused by the use of the service, unless it can be proven that the damage was caused intentionally or by gross negligence.

Insofar as regulations and decrees are published on the website, they do not claim to be up-to-date or complete. The current version published in the relevant promulgating bodies (in particular the Law and Ordinance Gazette of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, Official Gazette) is legally binding.
