Dutch police officers used force in 25,404 incidents during 2025, marking a 12% increase from the previous year, according to official data.
The rise reflects broader pressures on law enforcement, including escalating mental health crises and riot situations. The increase suggests growing challenges in maintaining public order and managing vulnerable populations without physical intervention.
The figures may prompt new discussions about police training, de-escalation tactics and resource allocation across Dutch law enforcement.
