The Lippe district police authority now has its own WhatsApp channel. Citizens and the media can use the broadcast channel to receive police information with a regional focus quickly and easily.
The channel complements the cross-media communication strategy of the Lippe Police Department and will bring police news such as safety information on current operations, searches, press releases, traffic reports, etc. directly to smartphones in the future.
It is a broadcast channel with one-way communication. This means that subscribers only receive messages, but cannot comment or chat directly with the police or see who else is following the channel.
It is not yet possible to find the WhatsApp channel using WhatsApp's normal search function, as the verification process has not yet been completed. Instead, the channel must currently be accessed and subscribed to via a link.
To access the channel, you must follow the link to the channel on the device you are using WhatsApp with: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaEjrvwDeON7JBKZZl1L.
Alternatively, you can scan the QR code. To do this, simply open the camera function on your smartphone and hold the camera over the QR code. The Lippe Police WhatsApp channel can then be added directly and can be accessed again and again via the Channels section in WhatsApp.
