On October 30, 2025, we will receive current information from Potsdam about the police and emergencies in the region. Sometimes life plays its own cards, and that's when it's crucial to be well prepared. Accidents, burglaries and other crimes are not just numbers in the news, they directly affect us all.

In this context, the emergency number 112 is of central importance for the police, fire brigade and rescue services. In addition, you should always provide first aid in an emergency, if possible.

Eberhard, a local electrician, describes his last assignment as a witness to a traffic accident: "You just have to stay calm and collect the important information. Where did it happen, what happened and how many were affected?" Such details are crucial when dialing 112 to get help. The police, available on 110 for life-threatening emergencies, and the medical emergency service on 116 117 are ready to provide support. The emergency call is recorded in the control center and the emergency services then move out quickly, as described by Potsdam.de.

The selection ranges from a classic emergency call button to portable emergency call bracelets to modern mobile home emergency calls. More active seniors are increasingly turning to devices that are equipped with GPS tracking and can therefore help on the go.
