Police stations are closed en masse. Police has been in reorganisation since forever. Personnel is over-extended to the point they are contemplating strikes.

I can't find any info on that for the dutch police, do you have a source?

Yep. And it's getting worse. For now it's all still operating well enough but we're at an inflection point for sure.

Yes I do live in The Netherlands. Excuse me for not remembering a year old news item that didn't have any direct impact on me.

Thanks for the source, closing police stations is definitely not a good sign. I hope that that's a trend that has reversed since that news article came out.
