The world is colorful and diverse - which is why we very much welcome the fact that social networks provide a platform for exchange and discussion. We look forward to engaging with you on Facebook (Polizei NRW Münster), Twitter(@polizei_nrw_ms) and Instagram (@polizei.nrw.ms). On our pages you will find press releases and reports on current police operations, important general information, information on current checks and key areas of police work.
We are active for you on social media from Monday to Friday from 7 am to 8 pm. During this time, the social media team reads comments and messages and looks forward to interacting with you. Outside of these times, our social media channels are managed by the control center.
Important information:
Always call 110 in urgent cases.
We ask you not to publish any information about criminal offenses or personal data on social networks. If you would like to give a tip or report a crime, please use our Online Police station or go to the nearest police station.

Netiquette:
We ask everyone to remember that real people are communicating with each other here. To ensure a constructive exchange on our social media channels, the community agrees on the following common values and rules of conduct:
- We respect our fellow human beings. We comment responsibly. We are constructive and polite.
- We only comment on the current post topic.
- Questions and ideas are welcome.
- Differences of opinion are part of life. We argue on a factual level and don't get personal. We criticize opinions and actions, not people.
- Before commenting/tweeting, we put ourselves in the other person's shoes. We check whether we would also say the sentence to a person's face in a conversation.
- If we are provoked or treated unfairly, the contacts presented above are the people to talk to.
- We stick to verifiable facts and are careful with assumptions, especially accusations.
- We stand up for the Basic Law and an open, democratic society.
- We express ourselves clearly and comprehensibly. Irony and sarcasm can easily be misunderstood if you cannot see/hear the other person.
- We accept that "Du" has become the common form of address in the German-speaking network and do not get annoyed if we are not addressed as "Sie".
- Speculations about the background to the facts of the case or the origin of those involved do not help us and will be avoided.
The Internet is not a legal vacuum!
We do not tolerate
- insults, abuse and degrading statements,
- unlawful content, e.g. incitement or instruction to commit crimes; statements harmful to minors; statements that violate personal rights or content that infringes the copyrights or data protection rights of third parties,
- inflammatory, racist, obscene, discriminatory or pornographic content,
- misleading claims and untrue statements of fact,
- content that is associated with viruses, Trojans or harmful websites,
- content that is inappropriate, inaccurate or misleading, Trojans or harmful websites or which are otherwise likely to impair the use of the site or the user's IT system,
- spam / copy&paste of own comments,
- contributions with personal data, commercial contributions and third-party advertising,
- links are generally not permitted and will be hidden or deleted by us. This is to prevent users from being redirected to fraudulent sites, e.g. through subsequent changes to stored websites.
As the police, we stand for law and order. You can and may expect the same from us on the Internet! In the case of comments that violate the law, we initiate appropriate proceedings, hide the comments and block the user. If you notice any possible legal violations on our pages, please inform us.
Users whose comments have been hidden or deleted or whose account has been blocked or blocked can informally inquire about the reason for the measure. To do so, please send an email to: pressestelle.muenster [at] polizei.nrw.de
In addition, the terms of use of the respective social network and our privacy policy apply.
We hope you enjoy sharing your opinions!
Information about our social media channels
Here you can go to the Münster Police Facebook page - Become a fan of our page!
Facebook data protection information:
By clicking on "Like" you become a fan of the page, which is visible to the administrators of the page as well as to your friends and, if applicable, 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 evaluated by the administrators nor recorded elsewhere. The statistics that Facebook makes available to the administrators 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.facebook.com/about/privacy/ and make the appropriate privacy settings in your account! Please check exactly what information you publish!
What Facebook learns:
What data Facebook stores in detail and how the company uses this data is not exactly known. 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
- gathers 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 usage.
Important note:
If you would like to contact us with information that affects your or other people's personal rights, please use the option to contact us confidentially. You can contact your police at the police stations, by telephone or by email at Poststelle.Muenster [at] Polizei.NRW.de (Poststelle[dot]Muenster[at]Polizei[dot]NRW[dot]de ).
We expressly reserve the right to remove comments from this page that violate applicable law or morality 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.
Here you can go to the X page of the Münster police- Become a follower!
Data protection information X:
With one click you become a follower of this account, which will be visible to the administrators of the page as well as to your friends and possibly other X users. This applies in particular to posts.
However, this information is neither analyzed nor recorded elsewhere by the administrators of the police account. The statistics that X 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.

exactly what information you publish!
What X learns:
What data X stores in detail and how the company uses this data is not exactly known. What is certain is that X not only stores data that is entered directly by users, but also records the actions of X users - presumably without gaps - and passes them on to third parties.
X also
- gathers 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 an X button is installed. The IP address is also transmitted. If the visitor to the third-party site is an X user and has already logged in to X from the same computer, X can also determine their identity.
This enables X to investigate the preferences, inclinations and contacts of its users very precisely and beyond X usage.
