An employee of the Police Services Center, which arranges business operations for the police, was taken out of service on Tuesday because he is suspected of embezzling bottles of disinfectant hand gel. The man is said to have resold them to “a person outside the police,” reported Friday.
The batch of disinfectant hand gel was purchased in early February for use within the police organization. However, the employee would have sold part of it.
An internal investigation has been started and “a criminal investigation against the employee has also been initiated”.
At the Police Service Center, matters such as finance, human resources and ICT are arranged. The hand gel had to be used by police employees during the corona outbreak. Disinfectant gel has been a popular product since the spread of the coronavirus.

The coronavirus in short
- The coronavirus mainly spreads from person to person via sneezing and cough drops. The chance of becoming infected through surfaces such as door handles is small. This chance decreases if you wash your hands often.
- You can considerably reduce the chance of spreading by keeping at least 1.5 meters away from others.
- An infected person infects two to three others on average. Precautions are necessary to contain this.
- The vast majority of patients have mild (flu-like) complaints.
- Almost all deaths involve the elderly or other vulnerable persons, such as heart, lung or diabetes patients. If everyone complies with the measures, this reduces their risks.
- Read here what precautions you should take.
