Landespolizei

What Landespolizei does

Landespolizei des Fürstentums Liechtenstein is the national police force of the Principality of Liechtenstein, operating as a government state entity under the authority of the Liechtenstein government and headquartered at Gewerbeweg 4, Vaduz. The organization provides law enforcement, criminal investigation, traffic safety enforcement, and emergency response services to Liechtenstein's approximately 39,000 citizens, supported by a 24/7 National Emergency and Operations Center handling emergency calls (112, 117, 118, 144), mobile patrol units, and a municipal police network across all 11 Liechtenstein municipalities. It reports annual resolution of over 1,000 criminal offenses and operates 365 days per year, 24 hours per day.

The Landespolizei's technology stack includes the BKMS-based Anonymous Whistleblower System (licensed from EQS Group AG) for confidential reporting of corruption, white-collar crime, and human trafficking; the Police FL mobile application for iOS and Android with emergency call routing and push notifications backed by AWS SNS; a Digitaler Polizeiposten (Digital Police Station) online portal for remote report filing; video surveillance infrastructure at strategic public locations (Vaduz town center, Schaan center/post office, Schaan bus station, Gnalp-Steg tunnel) with 30-day retention and live feed to police; and Hazard Detection Systems connecting critical infrastructure (banks, post offices, utility facilities) directly to the operations center. The organization maintains international cooperation through Interpol, Europol, the Swiss Border Guard Corps, and Schengen member states, and participates in EU Schengen Funds (ISF Borders and BMVI).

The Landespolizei is funded through public taxation and does not charge citizens for police services; no commercial revenue model, pricing structure, or external customer contracts exist. Its revenue mechanics are entirely governmental: budget allocations from the Principality of Liechtenstein, supplemented by EU Schengen Funds. Its customer base is structural — the entire citizenry of Liechtenstein, government and municipal authorities requiring security support, and road users subject to traffic enforcement. Leadership includes National Commissioner Jules Hoch, Deputy Commissioner Andreas Schädler, and division heads covering Security and Traffic, Crime Investigation, Central Police Services, and Police Technology and Equipment.
