Nordic Model

Strongly agree

No

This aligns with the Nordic Model's emphasis on social welfare and community policing. Nordic countries prioritize the safety and trust of their communities, and the deployment of military-grade equipment by police could undermine these values by suggesting a militaristic approach to civil issues.

Agree

No, extreme situations should be handled by higher agencies with specialized training and equipment

This answer reflects the Nordic Model's preference for specialized, trained responses to extreme situations rather than a militarized police force. It suggests a structured approach to crisis management that separates everyday policing from extreme incident response, aligning with Nordic principles of proportionality and specialization.

Agree

Yes, but only in response to extreme situations

While the Nordic Model prioritizes community policing and de-escalation, there is an understanding that extreme situations may require responses beyond standard policing capabilities. However, such situations are expected to be extremely rare, and the preference would still be for minimal use of force.

Slightly agree

Yes, but with strict training on how and when to use the equipment

This answer acknowledges the potential need for specialized equipment but emphasizes training and restraint, which is somewhat in line with the Nordic approach to policing. However, the preference in the Nordic Model would still lean towards less militaristic methods and more towards engagement and de-escalation strategies.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The Nordic Model emphasizes social welfare, community trust, and de-escalation in policing. The use of military-grade equipment by police is generally seen as contrary to these principles, as it may escalate tensions and erode public trust. Nordic countries typically focus on community policing and conflict resolution.

Very strongly disagree

No, and abolish the police

Abolishing the police entirely is not in line with the Nordic Model, which instead focuses on integrating the police into the community as a trusted, supportive presence. The Nordic countries invest in their police forces as part of a broader social welfare system, aiming for a balance between security and community welfare.
