A film clip in which a police officer can be heard shouting “take the horn” when they are chasing a person suspected of drug offences, was widely circulated on social media last autumn. The police admitted that it had gone wrong, because you always want to act in a way that inspires trust. – There is a regret, said Mattias Sigfridsson, deputy police area chief in Malmö, to TV4 Nyheterna. Now Sydsvenskan writes that the police are being warned by the Norwegian Police Authority’s personnel responsibility committee “It is indisputable that you have expressed yourself in an inappropriate way in connection with an intervention. Such an action risks upsetting trust in the police,” the committee writes in its decision. Watch the criticized film in the player above.
