Since the February 14-15 shootings in Copenhagen, Danish police officers have been focusing so much on anti-terror measures that other police work is being overlooked and officers face burnout, according to a report from Berlingske.

Officers from other police districts were sent to Copenhagen in the wake of the attacks and law enforcement officials warn that it is “naive” to believe that this won’t have an effect elsewhere.

“If there should be a grain of truth to it, it’s a waste of the people’s tax resources. It is naive to expect that you can remove so many man-hours without it having a consequence for residents,” Kaj Rasmussen, the chairman of the officers’ union at the South Zealand and Lolland-Falster Police, told Berlingkse.
