At the beginning of 2013, a working group led by the Oberhausen police developed the Facebook and Twitter presences of the Hagen, Hamm, Gelsenkirchen, Krefeld, Mönchengladbach and Oberhausen police authorities.
Just in time for the start of the nationwide action week as part of the "Riegel vor! Safe is safer" campaign (18. - 25.11.2013), the police headquarters joined forces to use social media to
- Proactive advice on protection against burglary and pickpocketing
- Increasing awareness of suspicious perceptions
- Reducing inhibitions about notifying the police as quickly as possible by calling 110
- Sensitizing citizens to free advice on securing their homes
Since then, posts by Oberhausen police on Facebook and Twitter have reached several thousand citizens every day, in purely mathematical terms, almost 20 percent of Oberhausen residents.

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 collects 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 external 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
We expressly reserve the right to remove comments that violate applicable law or morality from this site 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.
