IT at the NRW Police sees itself as a service partner and supports the approximately 58,000 employees. The tasks of our IT cover their entire life cycle from planning, design and development to the procurement, implementation, operation and further development of hardware and software.
Police-specific procedures are developed in exciting projects, for example to support our emergency services in the district police authorities with state-of-the-art technology. Our IT control center is available to the police authorities 24/7 in the event of problems, but IT security also plays a major role for us. We want to digitize the day-to-day work of the police and make it secure. To do this, we need your IT expertise and your creativity to go down unusual paths. You won't find 08/15 in Team 110, because just as every operation is different, we often need new approaches on the way to a solution. Get involved and become part of the Polizei-NRW family.
We have the opportunity here to work with state-of-the-art technology and develop innovative new things.
Robert Kahr
Head of Software Development LKA NRW
Robert Kahr is head of the software development division in the LKA's cybercrime department. Here, IT forensic experts analyze end devices such as smartphones. Internet investigators search the Internet for new crimes regardless of the occasion and look at how scenes are changing. They investigate politically motivated crime and child pornography. Their common goal is to help advance investigations. To this end, they develop tools themselves, exchange information with other departments throughout Europe and are involved from the initial idea to the construction, handover and subsequent supervision of the proceedings.
"Digital crime scenes" investigation team
Attacks on critical infrastructure, the economy and citizens occur almost daily. The consequences are enormous damage and destroyed livelihoods. It is a race between cyber criminals and the police that requires the best technology and the best minds.
The new "Digital Crime Scenes" organizational unit supports local specialists in all areas of crime fighting whenever special skills and special technology are required. The team is equipped with the latest technology, because the aim is to always be one step ahead of the criminals.
IT professions
We have many opportunities for further training and can therefore think outside the box.
