Police officers feel abandoned by justice and politics

Beatings, spitting, swearing: in the exercise of their duties, police officers must put up with far too much. Meanwhile, many officers fear the streets. They feel abandoned by justice and politics.
Rolf P. Steinegger, President of the Association of Swiss Police Officers (VSPB), Section Bern City: "Conflicts between the courts and the police need to be resolved. Since all criminal prosecution authorities should function as a unit, it is dangerous to, in principle, drive a wedge between police and justice".
