Police want tougher penalties for mistreating workers – NOS

police union ACP comes up with concrete ideas for action to violence against police officers and other emergency workers during the Old and the New. During the turn of the year, as in other years, a lot of violence used against aid workers.

1700 people have a survey of the ACP for their experiences completed. The outcome is called the bond processed in a tienpuntenplan. This will set out what, according to the police all need to change.

They want that people who went to the aid workers to throw to get a fine from a minimum of 5000 euro. And the fine should be doubled if they are alcohol or have used drugs. They also wish that people that are more likely to go wrong identity is made known.

Bourgeoisie

The police will not only be during the turn of the year with violence, but also on other days. “Perpetrators you need to confront with themselves and their surroundings, and much heavier penalties,” writes a police officer.

More agents to think about. The survey shows that the police want there to be ‘law and order’. And in case of minors must be breaking the law also financial sense for the parents.

There is also a need for new material. Many agents want tasers, retractable batons and bodycams. The ACP is asking for years for these resources.

Low confidence

the survey shows that the police there is little confidence in the political something with the ideas. “The vast majority do not expect that something happens. That is very serious,” said Gerrit van de Kamp, president of the police union, in the NOS Radio 1 Journaal.

That is, according to him, due to a number of things that the agents would have already been defined by the politics, but there is according to him nothing came to be. “There’s also the lack of trust that the good comes from.”
