Bochum police launch WhatsApp channel
Important news on your mobile phone in a flash: The police for Bochum, Herne and Witten are starting their own WhatsApp channel. From now on, users can access many relevant messages from their police directly via the messenger service. The channel is accessible under this link.
The WhatsApp channel complements the already established information channels through which the Bochum police inform all citizens (including the website, the press portal, Facebook and X, formerly Twitter). The new channel enables information to be passed on quickly and immediately, including communication during operations, prevention tips, recruiting new recruits and wanted notices.
Reach citizens better without social media
In addition, the police regularly publish press releases. “The integration of WhatsApp is primarily intended to reach citizens who are not active on other social networks. This supplements the existing communication channels in emergencies or for urgent messages,” it continues.

The WhatsApp channel is a one-way communication channel. This means that there is no chat or comment function. The Bochum police can only see the number of subscribers, but not names or phone numbers.
In addition, the officers add: “The police cannot and will never send private messages on WhatsApp! In an emergency, dial 110!”
