Police Sports Club
A police sports club is a company sports group of the police that is often open to outsiders.
While pure police sports clubs are no longer common today, there are more and more sports clubs which, for historical reasons, are known as PSV ( P olizei s port v erein), but are no longer exclusively involved with the police.
