With the new policy, paid parking will be introduced everywhere in Utrecht. This means that police officers, if they go to work by car, have to pay to work, Dijkhuizen explains. After an inventory among his colleagues, it appears that many of them will leave when this new policy comes into effect. “Day in and day out, the police stand in the gap for the safety of the residents of Utrecht. The fact that they have to pay to work feels unfair to them.”
