NS Security Officers May Soon Carry Batons in Safety Trial

Dutch rail operator NS plans to test arming 75 of its security officers with batons, citing growing concerns over violence against staff.

The company says this move is meant to evaluate whether batons could enhance safety and effectiveness on trains and at stations.

While officers already have enforcement powers, there’s debate over whether batons are necessary. The Justice Ministry is reviewing the proposal, with a decision expected in 13 weeks. If approved, the pilot will be closely supervised by an independent research agency
