Ombudsman: Amsterdam Police Failed


The Amsterdam ombudsman has related to the problems of the Amsterdam underground system now under construction. He strongly criticized the police for its behavior when several buildings were found to be sinking and people were forced to evacuate their homes. He concludes that rather than providing assistance to these people, the police actually caused them more problems. Dealing with these people turned into chaos as the police were ill prepared. Police Chief Bernard Welten has criticized the draft report. www.parool.nl/parool/nl/124/VERKEER/article/detail/187601/2009/02/27/Welten-verwerpt-conclusies-in-rapport-NZ-lijn.dhtml
