Every year at the beginning of the "dark season", the Recklinghausen police take part in the state campaign "Riegel vor!" to raise awareness of the issue of burglary protection on campaign days.
However, the prevention work of our experts from the Crime Prevention and Victim Protection Department is of course ongoing. For years, burglary protection advice has been offered by appointment. Our burglary protection experts also regularly provide information at information stands, for example at weekly markets. They are also supported by colleagues from the district and priority services.
Security technology on doors and windows, but also good neighborliness, can protect you from becoming a victim of burglars.
Get advice from our burglary protection experts - free of charge.

In the fight against burglary, the police also need your eyes and ears to be successful. In order to be able to arrest offenders on the spot, we need quick and precise information about the perpetrators:
- Where are the perpetrators, how many are there?
- What do the perpetrators look like, how are they dressed?
- What are the perpetrators doing, in which direction are they moving?
- Are the perpetrators using a getaway vehicle - license plate number and vehicle type and color are important
Don't be afraid to call us if you notice anything suspicious. Suspicious observations are also emergency calls that we investigate
Citizens need have no concerns, even if tips turn out to be inaccurate or do not lead to an arrest. No serious call will be "billed".
If you observe suspects, call 110 immediately.
