BBC 31/5/2023 News ‘We need to use the entire toolbox’ storytelling in the unarmed Norwegian police Norway is one of the few European countries in which the police, in the course of their normal duties, are unarmed. Based on a risk assessment, Norwegian police were permanently armed from 25th November 2014 and 3rd February 2016. This was the longest period during which the police in Norway had been routinely armed, and an evaluation of their experience was required, the aim being to collect police officers’ own experiences from this period.
