Denmark deploys the army at asylum centres
If the police need help guarding the asylum centres, special trained soldiers from the Armed Forces are now ready, reports DR.
The army has, in cooperation with the police, trained nearly 600 soldiers who will be available for the police to guard the reception centers for refugees - including Søgårdlejren, which has still not been put into use, says press officer at the Defence Command, Henrik Mortensen.
- The goal has been reached. We have in total trained 600 men to help with the preparedness, he says.
In January, the Danish immigration and integration minister, Inger Støjberg, said that employees from the armed forces will be able to relieve the police, while there is a border control.
And if the defense must step in, they are trained to relieve the police in a number of areas, says Henrik Mortensen.
- It is among other things about security and access control at the fence around the reception centers. It could also be about detainees who are not allowed to leave the centres and to maintain peace and order at the centres, he says.
It is the police that decide when the trained soldiers will be called in to help with patrolling.
They can be deployed within seven days notice.
