The National Crisis Center (NCCN) opened 54 new cases in the first six months of 2023. These cases are intended for individuals in Belgium who are threatened while performing their duties.

The cases involve a total of 81 individuals, including politicians, police officers, civil servants, and magistrates. This is an important step for the protection of those who face risks in their professional environments.

According to reports from various news media, including 'De Zondag', the opening of these cases reflects the increasing focus on the safety of individuals in sensitive positions. The Crisis Center can thereby provide more targeted support.
