Detect and prevent
The explosion on Ericastraat is one of the explosions of recent times. Not only are the police investigating the incidents that have taken place, they are also working hard to prevent new incidents. Analysts investigate the backgrounds, people involved and make estimates of times and places when the risks are highest. Officers on the street adjust their increased surveillance to this. The live viewing of cameras present in the city is also adjusted to the threat present.

Reporting helps!
