Justice minister worried about Police

Justice Minister Peter Hummelgaard is concerned about the culture and behaviour in the police after recent cases. Among other things, six officers from the Copenhagen Police have been arrested and charged with theft and possession of drugs. In this connection, Peter Hummelgaard wrote to Ritzau Bureau on Tuesday: “Even though individual cases such as this must be dealt with within the framework that now applies, and even though there are still other individual cases that have not been decided by the Independent Police Complaints Authority, as Minister of Justice I am concerned about the picture that has recently been painted of the culture and behaviour in the Danish police on the basis of a number of specific cases,” he wrote. /ritzau/
