About this bill
Standing Committee on Justice recommends rejecting police training proposal for Alta
Five MPs—Per-Willy Amundsen, Hans Andreas Limi, Jon Engen-Helgheim, Hilde Grande, and Bengt Rune Strifeldt—proposed extending a pilot programme for decentralised police training in Alta, with annual intakes through spring 2028 and funding through the revised 2026 budget and future budgets. The proposers argue the pilot helps address recruitment challenges in northern Norway, particularly Finnmark. A committee majority from the Labour Party, Conservative Party, Centre Party, and Green Party recommended rejection, while members from the Progress Party, Christian Democratic Party, and Centre Party put forward alternative motions for continuation.
