Police Nord Vaudois

What Police Nord Vaudois does

Police Nord Vaudois is an intercommunal police organization serving 10 communes in the Nord Vaudois region of Canton Vaud, Switzerland, headquartered at Poste du Valentin in Yverdon-les-Bains. The force delivers 24/7 emergency police response via the 117 line, proximity community policing through a mobile police bus unit, and targeted crime-prevention programs for youth, seniors, and road users. Its service model is organised around three pillars: 'SERVIR – PROTEGER – AGIR' (Serve – Protect – Act). The organisation is a public intercommunal entity governed under Swiss municipal law and funded by its constituent communes; it operates with a 27-person staff and is not a commercial enterprise.

The service portfolio spans operational policing (emergency response, proximity patrols, penal complaints) and a substantial administrative back-office (criminal record extraction, passport and identity document issuance, parking enforcement, traffic fine processing, lost-and-found management, port/mooring enforcement, signage and construction site coordination, events and markets support, and authorization requests). The technology surface is limited to a WordPress-based public website plus Facebook and Instagram accounts used for community outreach, safety alerts, and recruitment. Operational coordination is supported by partnerships with the Académie de Police (Police Academy) for officer training and with Polices communales Vaud for inter-police cooperation; the force is also bound by cantonal and federal policing regulations.

Recent 2026 initiatives include the 'iCi en sécurité' community safety device (described as unique in the canton), a recruitment campaign for new officers, bicycle safety workshops for children and adults, a summer heat wave prevention plan, and a fraud-awareness campaign addressing fake-police impersonation. No commercial revenue model, proprietary software platform, or AI/ML capability is disclosed in the available material.
