Between 09.00 and 11.00 of the units the offices will northern Netherlands, eastern Netherlands, Central Netherlands, East Brabant and Limburg close, from 13:00 to 15:00 it happen in units North Holland, Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and Zeeland / West-Brabant. At that time, for example, can not return to be done. Remain officers available for emergency aid, the Dutch reports Police Board (NPB):
“The safety is in no way compromised.”
The temporary closure will be used for (overdue) administrative work, a signal that should be made clear that the workload is high with the police, but the means to remain at that. The protests of the unions are getting bigger. Agents have not had a pay rise for four years and wish that there finally is a better agreement. They want except more wage (3.3 percent) also place a bonus in connection with the radical reorganization which is currently in the police.
The tensions within the National Police go higher and higher. The presidents of the four police unions accused police chief Gerard Bouman in a joint statement yesterday “rabble”. The unions believe that they are getting for their actions too little support from the leadership of the police. It puts the unions for example, that the corps leadership itself Tuesday sided with the State demanded successfully through a lawsuit that the police no action could perform during the cyber summit.
