that at present the Dutch police cannot cope effectively with terror. He added that at least another 1500 policemen
are needed, of which 500-600 are required in support functions, such as
detective services. After the murderous
Paris attacks in January, Van de Kamp requested more heavy weaponry for the
police, but was turned down by the government.
He said policemen wanted to be sure they could defend themselves. He also said that policemen should be allowed
to take their weapons home.Thursday, November 19, 2015
