Violence Against Police Officers (GTPA)

The police find aggression and violence against their employees or other helpers unacceptable. Police officers have a responsible role in society and must be able to perform their work without being hindered. With mutual respect. Aggression or violence, in any form, against employees is not tolerated. Reports are always taken. Aggression and violence directed against helpers are considered by the Public Prosecution Service as an aggravating factor. Suspects committing these acts may face a higher sentence demand.
