Cybercrimepolice.ch now available in Italian: greater accessibility for cross-border workers The national cybercrime prevention platform Cybercrimepolice.ch has taken another step towards greater accessibility for the entire Swiss population: as of today, the site is also available in Italian. This development further strengthens the national orientation of the platform, supported by the Conference of Cantonal Police Commanders (CCPCS) and managed by the Zurich Cantonal Police. The goal is to inform the population in all national languages about the growing threats of cybercrime, raise awareness, and protect them effectively. With the introduction of the Italian language, Cybercrimepolice.ch significantly expands its reach and ensures direct access also for the population of Italian-speaking Switzerland, including cross-border workers who work in Ticino and reside in Italy. ### Contribution of the Ticino Cantonal Police The realization of the Italian content was made possible thanks to the fundamental contribution of the Ticino Cantonal Police. At the same time, reports can now be submitted in all three national languages, facilitating the use of the platform and improving the collection of information from the population. The platform is integrated into the network for supporting investigations in the fight against digital crime (NEDIK) and continues to play a central role as a national reporting and prevention platform. In the fight against cybercrime, prevention, awareness, and a rapid response are crucial. Cybercrimepolice.ch contributes to this by providing up-to-date information, protection from digital risks, and support for investigative activities. ### Concrete examples and real numbers According to data from the Ticino Cantonal Police, over 1,200 cyberc...
