Verite said the research revealed that the police in the Netherlands used more violence in 2021 compared to 2019 and 2020, adding: “The Dutch police used force in 18,477 incidents in 2021. This is 12 percent higher than 2020 and 27 percent compared to 2019.” “In 90 percent of the evaluations, it was concluded that the officers used force within the appropriate and legal framework. It was stated that only 231 officers, which make up only 2 percent of those who used force, were out of line,” said Verite.
