From 184 to 40: Verlinden wants to drastically merge police zones. Will we soon have to drive 20 km to the first police station?

Minister of the Interior Annelies Verlinden (CD&V) wants the local police to evolve into corps of at least 500 men or women. “Many police districts are now simply too small to do everything we expect them to do.” And so Verlinden calls on mayors and chiefs of police to work on mergers. But what would that mean for you as a citizen? Will you have to drive further for an office? Or are there mainly advantages?
