According to a letter from Minister Ivo Opstelten (Security and Justice) Monday to parliament.
At present, the police have still manned around 750 locations. Because it is a “gradual process” Opstelten can not yet say which offices close.
It is clear that the 167 base teams within the National Police get their own office. In sixteen cases, a core team still needed a second desk
A total of four hundred modern ‘police bases’ decorated.; about a hundred larger bases and about three hundred smaller points. Where possible, be located in town halls.
With that reducing the number of agencies is a contribution to the saving of 230 million euros which must be accompanied by the formation of the National Police, says Opstelten.
Street
The police reform should include mean that more officers more time to spend on the street.
Police officers get a smartphone with “police-specific apps “that allow them to establish the identity of someone on the street and in many cases can consult a large number of registers. Then too quickly see if someone is dangerous firearm.
Criticism
Within the police itself is still much criticism of the reorganization of the National Police. According to the Central Works Council is reorganizing 200 million more than budgeted costs.
The council has recently advised on the reorganization negative. That would be an “almost impossible task” his, “especially with additional cuts,” said the chairman of the board last week
