Police Chief warns of longer emergency response times amid staffing shortages

NL Times  

Dutch police chief Janny Knol has warned that citizens in emergency situations may face longer response times due to severe staffing shortages and shifting priorities in combating crime. “Looking back, we could have acted sooner, but I am grateful for the task force and the collective effort it represents,” Knol said. Local police work involves more than just handling incidents.” Knol pointed to evolving threats such as cybercrime, youth involvement in criminal activities, and foreign interference as major challenges for law enforcement. “Nearly 44 percent of crime victims are now affected by online crime,” Knol said, adding that the digital domain presents a “moral vacuum” that particularly ensnares young people.
