27 August 2024 at 15:36 The police director will not continue in a new term Benedicte Bjørnland will quit as police director when her term expires in April 2025. This is confirmed by the Directorate of Police (POD) to news. The position is contract-based for six years, and Bjørnland took office in April 2019. − Towards the end of a one-year term, it is natural to think about whether the time has come to let someone else take over, and I believe this is a good time to release new forces, says Bjørnland in a press release. Previously, she has, among other things, been head of the Police Security Service (PST). Now she ends a more than 30-year career in the police. – It is a well-considered, but at the same time sad decision. I have been in the police since 1993. The community mission appeals very strongly to me, and together with good colleagues has been an important driving force for 30 years, says Bjørnland. Dagbladet mentioned the case first.
