Assessing whether more such police cars will be used is one of the proposals in the police report, which the government presented before the summer, writes Politiforum.
It is envisioned that they can help the police reach out to the local population when needed, be it a “passport bus” in Finnmark or a mobile police station, of which Oslo has had two for over ten years.
According to John Roger Lund, head of the East unit in the Oslo police district, the two Oslo police caravans have been used in the span from the Norwegian Cup to the murder sites.
– They rise very well on the ground and become very visible in the areas where we use them, Lund says, explaining that the mobile police post is driven to the crime scene for the police to contact people who have Been to the immediate area but not listed as witnesses.
The Oslo police also drive the police station to various locations to secure the local area and show people that police are present.
– We must respect the fact that our citizens are concerned that police buildings provide security. But it is not the police building that does the work. The real work is done in the field or in our offices, says Lund, who opens the opportunity for Politiforum to think about more mobility.
– With the resources we have, we cannot have police stations in all the places where people live, he says.
