United in favor of more police capacity in Limburg
The appeal filed by the 7 municipalities of Parkstad and Vaals against the Regional Police Policy Plan (RBP) has been declared unfounded by the Minister of Justice and Security. The appeal sounded the alarm about the sharp decrease in police capacity that the RBP would mean for the Parkstad region. The mayors of the Parkstad Limburg region, as well as Regional Mayor Hillenaar of Limburg, continue to jointly emphasize that this outcome does not eliminate the major shortage of police capacity throughout Limburg. An observation also endorsed by the other mayors of Limburg. The mayors therefore state that it will be very difficult to implement the ambitions the policy plan sets for the coming years.
