Response Police
This is an intensely sad case. In society, we have felt the impact of this, but it also made a deep impression within the police organization. We believe it is important that a critical independent investigation has been conducted into the actions of all agencies involved. It is in the interest of everyone, and especially for vulnerable parties involved, that all parties critically reflect on themselves and continue to learn. As with all impactful cases, we also reflect on ourselves. We must work together to ensure that such situations are prevented in the future.
