Research into police surveillance of security companies

Reading time: 1 minute

The Justice and Security Inspectorate investigates how the police check the working methods of private security organizations and detective agencies. The police must check whether these companies comply with the rules in practice.

 

Private security organizations and detective agencies are required to apply for a permit to operate. To obtain this permit from the government, they must meet certain conditions and the staff is screened.
In their work they must comply with the requirements of the permit. For example, personnel must be reliable and competent. The companies must also handle confidential (company) confidential and privacy-sensitive information of clients and citizens that they have at their disposal.

Chief of Police duties

The JenV Inspectorate examines how the police check this. In doing so, it examines whether the police pays attention to the quality of its supervision: for example, does it guarantee legal equality by treating equal cases equally? And the JenV Inspectorate examines which circumstances promote or hinder the inspections of these companies.
These control tasks are legally assigned to the chief of police of the national police and are therefore called chief of police tasks. They are delegated to specific teams within the police units.
This inspection investigation replaces a previously announced investigation into chief of police duties. The Inspectorate of Justice and Security wanted to check whether the police had enough officers to carry out these tasks. Gradually, however, the Jen V Inspectorate found that the focus of the investigation had to be shifted. That resulted in this new design.
