Police in Norway hardly ever use their guns, a new report released by the Scandinavian country’s government shows. In fact, it’s been almost 10 years since law enforcement shot and killed someone, in 2006.

Perhaps the most telling instance was when terrorist Anders Breivik opened fire in 2011 and killed 77 people in Utoya and Oslo. Authorities fired back at him, all right, but only a single time. In 2014, officers drew their guns 42 times, but they fired just two shots while on duty. No one was hurt in either of those instances.

Considering that police officers in the United States have killed more than 600 people this year alone, the report certainly is eye-opening. Of course, law enforcement officials in the United States face greater threats of violence while on duty.

Guns are not central to police activity in Norway, which is one reason why the law enforcement shooting rates are so low. As in Britain, police in Norway typically patrol while unarmed and only bear arms in extenuating situations.

In the past, experts have said that reevaluating U.S. law enforcement tactics--specifically having less of an emphasis on force and making face-to-face interactions more common--could help cut the shooting rates there, at least in the short term. A more complicated issue is the relative lack of trust in police officers in the U.S.

Sociologist Guðmundur Oddsson, speaking to Tech Insider, said Norwegians’ higher sense of trust in law enforcement was perhaps one of the reasons for the country’s low gun violence rates. "Trust is an extremely powerful mechanism of informal social control. In smaller, more ethnically homogeneous countries like Norway, building that trust is easy. People feel a sense of togetherness for many reasons, including the fact that most people look similar and hold similar beliefs,” he said.

Meanwhile d nigerian police must have killed over 5000 or more...useless buffoons

If Nigeria and Norway should exchange Police, trust Nigerian Police to fire as many shots as possible ranging from refusal to give bribe by citizens, extra judicial killing etc. I doubt if the Norwegian Police would survive a day in Nigeria.

Bottomline is the people are as good as the leaders they elect. The Nigerian Police is a true reflection of Nigerians. It is just simple and short

k

If Nigerians replace norwagians in there country ,there police we use more than AK47.
If our police(olopa/iwu oji) replace there police... Hehheheee *laughing uncontrollably* hehehehehe *still laughing* .

and Naija police uses Nigerians for target practice

d

Shun....dem no get bullets!!

Simply send Nigerian please policemen back to their state of origin . Preferably town of origin.
Problem solved.
