Polizeinews.ch reports on accidents and crimes

The daily online newspaper Polizeinews.ch now provides all police reports at a glance. In addition to a complete overview of all accidents and crimes in German-speaking Switzerland, the platform also offers a service section and background information on police topics. The web newspaper was launched on January 7, 2007. The editorial team accepts reports 365 days a year, processes them according to journalistic criteria and obtains additional information. A daily newsletter also helps to ensure that no crimes or accidents are missed.
In addition to the news section, Polizeinews.ch offers an extensive service section with information on crime and accident prevention, current police searches and missing persons cases. Background reports and interviews on police investigation methods, news from criminal research and other topics are also planned, according to a press release.
The online newspaper is fully financed by advertisements and is therefore free of charge for users. The idea and implementation of Polizeinews.ch came from the St.Gallen media agency Wortwerk Medien. Together with the media agency Insomnia, it had already launched Appenzell24.ch, a purely regional daily newspaper on the Internet, in September 2006 (see
). Further internet publications are planned.
