Brussels training – The Conference of Mayors reiterates its opposition to the merger of police zones

Backing up the figures, the mayors of Brussels also underlined that the police zones of the capital were faced with chronic underfunding, estimated at 500 million euros for the legislature which is beginning.

According to them, it is also important to refinance the federal police, particularly in the face of the phenomenon of serious crime linked to drug trafficking, otherwise it would accentuate the phenomenon of police zones having to compensate for this to the detriment of their local missions. .

In recent weeks, tempers have become somewhat agitated on the Brussels political scene after the revelation of extracts from a starting note for discussions for Dutch-speaking negotiators, with a view to the formation of a Brussels government. This note mentioned, among other things, the possibility of a merger of police zones, CPAS and municipalities.
