Access was granted under the following conditions:
Opening access for electronic communication via De-Mail
The De-Mail address poststelle [at] polizei-unna-nrw.de-mail.de (poststelle[at]polizei-unna-nrw[dot]de-mail[dot]de) has been set up for electronic communication with the KPB Unna via De-Mail. The transmission of De-Mails is possible for both informal and formal correspondence.
If the written form is required by law for certain letters, a handwritten signature would generally be necessary on your part. We have opened access for e-mails that require the written form. This replaces your handwritten signature. For the legally binding electronic sending of documents requiring written form, please use the De-Mail sending option in accordance with Section 5 (5) of the De-Mail Act. The legal requirement is fulfilled if the "sender confirmed" sending option was selected when sending the De-Mail.
If you send us a De-Mail, we assume that you also wish to receive a reply to this matter by De-Mail. If you close your De-Mail inbox again, please let us know so that we can stop communicating with you by De-Mail.
Further information on De-Mail can be found on the BSI website.
Opening access for encrypted electronic communication
The Unna district police authority offers an encryption procedure for electronic communication with the e-mail address poststelle.unna [at] polizei.nrw.de. The public key (certificate) is provided here.
Encrypted communication with an organizational unit of the KPB Unna or directly with individual persons within the authority is not permitted. If the KPB Unna responds to an encrypted e-mail, this will also be done electronically, provided that the KPB Unna is technically and organizationally capable of doing so. Otherwise, the reply will be sent by another suitable means.
Opening access for documents with a qualified electronic signature
The KPB Unna opens access for the transmission of documents by electronic means at the e-mail address poststelle [at] polizei-unna.sec.nrw.de (poststelle[at]polizei-unna[dot]sec[dot]nrw[dot]de), even if they are provided with a qualified electronic signature. Please note that the KPB Unna is currently unable to respond with qualified electronically signed documents. If the documents with a qualified electronic signature were not sent by
opening a De-Mail account by the sender, the reply will be sent by post. To ensure that we can reply to your message in writing, please include your postal address in your message.
Further information on qualified electronic signatures can be found on the website of the Federal Network Agency.

IT security
The transmission of electronic documents to a public authority is not permitted if the electronic documents cannot be checked for IT security using automated procedures in the access system. § Section 3a (3) VwVfG NRW applies accordingly.
Virus protection
If your electronic message or any file attachments are detected as infected by virus protection programs, they cannot be accepted. You will then receive a notification that your message could not be accepted.
Encrypted or executable files
Files that are encrypted with a password or files that are executable themselves or contain executable components (for example with the file extensions *.exe and *.bat and Office files with macros) will not be accepted.
File size
The total size of an e-mail/de-mail including all attachments, even if the documents have a qualified electronic signature or are encrypted, is limited to 20 megabytes (MB). If the permitted file size is exceeded, the De-Mail will not be accepted. You will then receive a notification that your message could not be accepted.
Maintaining the written form for replies
Not all inquiries are answered electronically due to technical and organizational conditions. So that we can reply to your message in writing, please include your postal address in your message.
Closing the De-Mail mailbox
If you close your De-Mail mailbox again, please let us know so that we can stop communicating with you via De-Mail.
