Landespolizei Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

What Landespolizei Mecklenburg-Vorpommern does

Landespolizei Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is the state police force of the German federal state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, operating under the state's Ministry of the Interior as a sovereign law enforcement agency. The organization delivers 24/7 emergency response via the 110 hotline, criminal investigation, traffic safety enforcement, water policing on the Baltic Sea and inland waterways, victim support, extremism prevention, and a broad set of crime-prevention and public-safety campaigns to the residents and visitors of the state. It is organized into two regional Police Directorates (Polizeipräsidium Rostock and Polizeipräsidium Neubrandenburg) and several specialized state offices, including the Landeskriminalamt (LKA), Landesbereitschaftspolizeiamt (LBPA), Landeswasserschutzpolizeiamt (LWSPA), and Landesamt für zentrale Aufgaben und Technik (LPBK-MV).

The agency's primary digital product is the Onlinewache — an online crime-reporting portal hosted at portal.onlinewache.polizei.de that supports form-based submission of criminal complaints, tips, and feedback across categories including theft, fraud, property damage, and hate speech, with BundID identity verification integration and cross-links to all other German state police online services. Supporting digital and offline services include the Hotline gegen Extremismus (counter-extremism hotline), the KUNO card-blocking service for SEPA signature-based debit transactions, victim protection and counseling programs, the Baderegeln beach-safety education initiative, and water-police prevention courses such as Skippies fit gemacht. The agency distributes public communications through its own website, a WhatsApp Channel, and official presences on Facebook, Instagram, and X.

The entity is funded entirely through the state budget of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and is fully owned by the Land (state) government. There is no commercial revenue model, no pricing structure, and no private capital; the closest analogue to "customers" is the citizen population served under statutory mandate. Strategic priorities evidenced in the data include digital transformation (Polizei 2020 initiative, Onlinewache expansion), international cooperation (Interreg, Identify Me with Dutch and Belgian police), workforce development through the Fachhochschule Güstrow degree and training pipeline, and integration with federal platforms (BundID, BKA, NINA emergency-warning app) and emerging technology programs (EMERGE IoT).
