' Let police at Ministry of security and justice remain '

That says Siebe Riedstra, the main official of the Ministry of security and justice, today in NRC. There are calls to the police to transfer back to Home Affairs. This is because there is so much hassle in recent years on the Ministry of security and justice. An example is the Teevendeal, who last year Minister Opstelten and State Secretary T the head took. But also Opsteltens successor, Minister Ard van der Steur, is often under fire.

Not always smoothly Riedstra says that the cooperation between the police and the public prosecutor's Office (to) indeed not always goes smooth. But that shouldn't be a reason to disassemble them, he believes. "It would be a pity not to maintain."

He calls the fight against terrorism and drug-related crime in Brabant: that's all much better if police and to mixing. "Improvements must always take place throughout the criminal justice chain."

' Better control, less incidents ' but if you dismantle the police and the public prosecutor, they can check each other better, many people find correct. Then there would be fewer incidents on the Ministry of security and justice. Early last year the first Chamber to Minister Van der Steur or who wanted to look at the possibility of the police return to Home Affairs. Also many groups in the second Room (PvdA, SP, Greenleft, D66 and Christianunion) find that the Ministry of security and Justice has grown too large.

The police fell under Home Affairs until 2010. But the first cabinet Rutte money police and Public Ministry together and called it new Department of the Ministry of security and justice.
