The Netherlands: Dutch police reorganisation to take twice as long, cost twice as much

The reorganisation of the Dutch police network to create a national police body will take twice as long and cost twice as much as forecast, according to current affairs programme Nieuwsuur.

Nieuwsuur bases its claims on a confidential report on progress so far by justice minister Ard van der Steur. In the report, Steur states: ‘The period allocated to organise the basis will be extended from two years to five.’ Nieuwsuur also claims the budget is being doubled from €230m to €460m.

Note EU-Digest: Presently the system is not only plagued by reorganizational problems, but also by what many people describe as incompetence and lazyness.
