We are the police
We are the Police
With nearly 63,000 colleagues, we keep freedom and security in balance—for everyone in the Netherlands. We stand up against injustice, crime, and danger. Trained and ready to act when the situation demands it. Capable of leading with our hearts and calling out dilemmas. Practical thinkers, courageous doers.
Support & Operations Behind the Scenes
When people think of the police, most imagine officers in uniform patrolling the streets—but that’s only half of our workforce. The other half supports operations around the clock—because it matters. Information management, HR, finance, facilities, communications—all in service of the national interest. You enable policing—and in return, you’ll find countless opportunities in the most diverse operational back-office roles.
Specialists Behind the Scenes
Professionals who make policing possible—there are many of you. The people who keep the copiers working, ensure everyone has the right equipment, process payroll, hire and train the right talent, keep logistics running smoothly, and securely manage stored data. Together, you keep the police running like a well-oiled organization.
From your area of expertise, you help guide the Netherlands’ largest employer behind the scenes. Recruiting the very best talent, handling top-secret data, maintaining life-saving equipment. This is how you keep the Netherlands safe.
