Research, develop, repair
The NRW police force has much more to offer than just jobs in uniform. You will also cut a fine figure with us in overalls or a suit. If you are at home in the large field of "technology", many exciting and innovative tasks await you. For example, you can help to make police officers' clothing more functional and safer. Or you can make sure that police stations are pleasant places to work. With us, you can also advance e-mobility, develop new technologies or ensure that patrol cars and helicopters are always ready for action.
We need your technical expertise and your creativity in order 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.

Our strength is that we work on an interdisciplinary basis and everyone can fully utilize their expertise in their core area.

When Benedikt Braeuker started his training as a police vehicle mechatronics technician, he was surprised at how diverse the range of police vehicles is. Now he knows them all and repairs and maintains patrol cars, water cannons and horse trailers on a daily basis. He inspects vehicles of various types, troubleshoots and repairs them. He even makes his own spare parts. His goal: the safety of his colleagues in the field.
