AMSTERDAM –

Investigators were told that the money for overtime for 2014 and that no overtime will be disabled. 2015 this month The anger at the police is so great that arrest and observation teams have already threatened to impose

work down.

In large studies as murder and drug cases, it is often necessary that detectives also work outside the normal hours of the roster. Now overtime is no longer reimbursed overtime must be ‘paid’, so a shortage of investigative capacity arises.

Disciplinary

Members of arrest and surveillance teams in leisure already threatened to refuse if they are not paid overtime. Service leadership threatened then service commands to backfire so disciplinary punishments be possible if the police refuse overtime.

skimping on overtime does not happen with all forces, but with several units such as Amsterdam. There is discontent already high because of cuts also decided to move to the Noord. District offices of the criminal police in the city “Tourists who want to return and to be examined, therefore now to the other part of the city. “Oh, you are robbed on the Rozengracht? You go make a declaration in Amsterdam North, ‘”says an indignant detective.

Promotion

Many police is also dissatisfaction with the promotion. Main Runners at the uniformed service are massively promoted to sergeant while detectives in the same grade miss promotion. Much dissatisfaction can be traced to the reorganization of the National Police, which is now over a year creates massive transfers back. According to police sources this newspaper Many offices are also closed and equipment replaced or not much later.

The large number of police investigations in Amsterdam is a large part of the overtime budget in 2014 of the police unit already addressed, said a police spokesman. Review of the policy is therefore necessary, according to him.

Liquidations

“Police work is inseparable from making overtime. The starting point is always that extra hours are compensated by time. Still, that does not always succeed, such as detectives to participate in a large-scale study. In Amsterdam this year, many such investigations initiated in response to, among other assassinations in the capital. In addition, there were several large-scale performances. “

Capacity

Pieter-Jaap Aalbersberg is the police chief of the Amsterdam Regional Unit of the National Police. “The rest of the year, we do not have the budget to pay overtime anymore. This has implications for studies yet to start in Amsterdam. There is therefore slightly less capacity. Serious crimes like rape are always picked up and, where necessary, we will ask for assistance from other units. I understand that people touch this. Our police officers are very motivated sometimes a longer time to go into research and flexibly to the circumstances “
