In this interview, Peter Muyshondt, Chief of Police in Rupel, Belgium, sheds light on the evaluation needs within the Belgian police force, particularly regarding their approach to radicalization prevention and intervention. Belgium's police system operates at both local and federal levels, with local police focusing on prevention and federal counterparts on repressive measures, all under a coordinated mechanism chaired by local mayors. Despite this structure, a critical challenge identified is the lack of comprehensive evaluation practices to assess the effectiveness of their strategies. The police force requires external evaluators equipped with robust indicators to conduct thorough evaluations, as internal resources and time constraints limit their ability to do so independently.
By integrating straightforward evaluation tools and involving frontline officers in the process, the aim is to enhance practical learning and continuous improvement within police operations.
