The protest started after King Willem-Alexander ceremoniously handed over the new police standard to police chief Gerard Bouman. The protest march started from the Malieveld. Police officers wore a bright orange vest with the text 'police work deserves more appreciation' printed on it. According to the unions between 1,600 and 2,000 police officers participated.
The police have been performing actions since last month, including only writing fines for "gross violations" of public order and safety, slow actions on highways and siren actions.
