The government has managed to gather a substantial political majority behind police reform. It probably means land including getting fewer and significantly larger police districts.
Two fundamental changes in the government’s proposal for police reform is the desire for fewer and larger police districts and to the creation of bigger research. The proposal envisages that the current 27 police districts are merged into twelve new districts. Number sheriff’s office and service locations should also be cut significantly without that number is quantified.
It was Sunday morning not clear what the government parties have won approval for, but it is clear that agreement has been reached in Parliament on the so-called neighborhood police reform. None of the parties would comment on what the agreement entails NTB before press conference in parliament Sunday afternoon.
Broad agreement
– It is important for us to do what we can to get as wide a plural as possible behind such a large reform, said Justice Minister Anders Anundsen (FRP) NTB when he submitted the reform proposal to parliament in early March.
In addition to supporting portions Left and the Christian Democrats, also participates Labor when coalition convenes a press conference in Parliament later Sunday. After the NTB get enlightened is the agreement with Labor, “part of the news” to be presented later Sunday.
Adds the Police Reserve?
It may thus be that Labor has won approval including to embed Police Reserve, so Justice political spokesperson and deputy Hadia Tajik advocated in ours.
The government has promised better capacity to handle organized crime, economic crime and sex crimes after carrying reform.
Anundsen stressed in March, moreover, that it is still the intention to reach the target of two police officers per 1,000 residents. The reorganization will release administrative personnel to policing. Several police officers currently working on administrative tasks will return to police operational duties.

At the press conference did Anundsen it also clear that the number of service locations will be higher than 210, which was submitted to the police director’s analysis from 2013.
– We put no number or target, said Anundsen who thinks it must be a thorough police professional job before this is determined.
