Amsterdam does not have enough well trained and heavily armed officers walking around who need to act in an emergency against terrorism.
Reported that the Paroo l based on 'insiders who are very concerned. "
These special agents carry heavy weapons like MP5 and protect public spaces, as we saw them do that shortly after the attacks in Brussels on many stations. The anonymous critics say the monitoring units where Amsterdam have enough manpower has too few resources to do their job properly.
CATCH UP
Why just the capital then has such a backlog? That's because in has started other parts of the country years ago with educating these special units. Amsterdam did not participate here because it would not fit into the streetscape. Amsterdam started only by educating the terrorist attacks in Paris November 13, 2015.
From November 2015 till now one group has been set up heavily armed and well-trained agents, while a city like Amsterdam would need six groups. This deficit is now solved by using units from other regions to secure Amsterdam Centraal example.
"Everyone in the country has been fully engaged in serious development of monitoring units, except Amsterdam. It has put the police at a disadvantage in an exciting time, "the report anonymous sources at the newspaper.
ENOUGH BLUE
Yet no commissioner Jan Pronker worries. He says that at the end of this year six units of this special agents are prepped, as has been agreed. According to him, there is the presence of squads and the military police in the region enough coverage at this time. "We should not forget that the monitoring units are. Measures to control objects. It's not about immediate interventions. "
Its position remains that the commissioner is talking with the people who worry within the organization, because "no one to fuss is waiting."
