Largest police operation in Dutch history planned for NATO summit
NL TimesThe Netherlands will deploy 27,000 police officers for the NATO summit in The Hague on June 24 and 25, 2025. “This will be the largest security operation ever undertaken by the Dutch police,” said Willem Woelders, national commander for the NATO summit. “We have to ensure that the operation runs smoothly, which requires a massive support network.” Support staff will play a critical role, according to Woelders, as will officers handling routine police work. “It’s unfortunate that some events may not go forward, but we can only deploy each officer once.” To ensure enough personnel are available, all police leave will be restricted during the summit. “This will help us maintain sufficient capacity to ensure the summit’s success while continuing essential police work,” Woelders stated.
