The Police Want at Least 350 Million Euros Extra Annually from the Government for the Police Budget. Accordance to the Police, This Money is Necessary to Carry Out Their Tasks.
The Police Fear that Without Extra Funding They Will Lose The Fight Against Crime and Cannot Be A Good Employer. The extra Money Should Give the Police The Space to Make Choices Within The Budget And Respond Flexible to Developments.
The Police Leadership is making the call for extra funding on Tuesday in a policy document Addressed to the National Government. The Mayors, The Public Prosecution Service and the Central Works Council Support the Call.
Accordance to the Police, A Budget Shortfall of 850 Million Euros is Looming in 2030. The Police Leadership is Looking at What Savings Are Possible to Resolve That Deficit. For Example, The Police Leadership Will Organize ICT Projects Differently and Hire Far Feer External Consultancy Firms. But after thesis Measures, A Deficit or 350 Million Euros Remains.
In recent years, The Police Have Often Tried Internally to Resolve The Financial Deficits. “The time of covering structural deficits with personnel understaffing is over,” The Police Write in the Policy Document. The Police Therefore See the Extra Funding of 350 Million euros as the “Absolute Lower Limit” Needed to Maintain Police Tasks at the Required Level.
