history
Since a major police reform in 1994, the country was divided into 25 police regions (politieregio's), each with a regional corps (regiokorps). The Reichspolizei , established in 1945, was abolished due to the reorganization of the Dutch police in 1994 and the units and tasks of the regional police, the KLPD and the Marechaussee were housed. The head of the KLPD's corps has been subordinate to the Interior Minister since 2000 (previously the Ministry of Justice). Since December 1, 2007, Ruud Bik has been head of the corps.
At the beginning of 2013 there was another restructuring of the Dutch police force . Since January 1st 2013 the former 25 regional police corps, the Dutch National Police (Korps Landelijke Politiediensten) and the cooperation center of the Dutch police have formed a whole Dutch police force employing around 63,000 people. 10 police districts, each headed by a head, the national unit and the police service center form the new organization of the new corps. The police districts are
