Two things to remember. Number one is that Dutch police officers have a three year education. Not just three months like in the US. This attracts a different kind of candidates. Number two is that in Europe in general, cops learn to de-escalate because this is just better. Less casualties both on the side of the perpetrators and the police.
feels like they don't get any training at all many of them.
They have 2 years education but very good, it was 4 years but there are nor very much cops so they need to make it intesting
"Some people are with each other 'On the fist'". 'Op de vuist' / 'On the fist' in this context means they are in a physical fight together. 'Goederen' are 'Goods' as in things (of value). The Dutch TV show 'Het klokhuis' literally 'The apple core' is a very good science based show for kids and youth.
@@dikkiedik9463mooie reactie, maar misschien in de algemene reacties plaatsen ipv de reacties onder een reactie😊
why are you lying i am dutch and they always escalate things they even shoot little kids been all over the dutch news too here they have a even worse reputation then in the usa you just gotta know the language so you know where to look for all the evidence because its easy to find too.
The 112 is not the number of reports but it is the alarmnumber like 911 in america. 🙂
yes it is, when someone calls 112, and action is needed, then it is an report. where they are responsible for that shift.
@@Dirrievdw i dont think you understand what pinker is saying in the first place lmao
You can actually also call 112 in america
@@wiebje3050 true you can also call 911 here it'd call 112
@@wiebje3050 You also can call 911 in Europe.
The sharper toned "Hallo!" and slightly raised voice is the Dutch equivalent of police shouting. They just get hella annoyed rather than angry most times. Being talked to like a naughty child does often help tbh...
Right! I call it ‘dad voice’ or ‘mom voice’. Just slightly using tone to add authority to your voice. The Dutch police are great at this. And I have very rarely seen them angry
dutch police is the most approachable police force in western europe, probably whole of Europe
On the fist is a dutch expression for fighting. Literally "Op de vuist gaan" = "To go on the fist".
Fisticuffs in English, I would say. It could be British English
in america you'd say.. they trow hands..?
They where in a Fist fight
@@ricokramer7716 Yeah, that's exactly what it means
English word is brawl!
your dutch knowledge is actually quite impressive for an american
"for an american" idk what it is with the dutch's obsession with seeing Americans as inferior, while simultaneously integrating their technology. I was born in the Netherlands, grew up in the states, now I'm back in NL and i hear constant US criticism and resentment. The US aint perfect, but i have often mentioned the netherlands and never heard a negative comment from an american . I can't connect it to anything....except jealousy.
That "For an American" was dirty bro

The way you are learning Dutch by translating in this video is actually kinda fun to watch.
In the Netherlands, overtaking on the right is prohibited, which is why cars turn to the right when the police, fire brigade or ambulance arrives with siren and blue light, or there are signs that you must clear the middle of the road.
More generally speaking, if you see a vehicle approaching you from behind that's clearly faster than you are, you should instinctively want to move over to the right. It's kind of an unwritten rule on dual carriageways and the motorways. But also, a common misconception is that passing another vehicle is equal to overtaking. It's not. Overtaking is a special manouvre, whereas passing by means you keep going without changing lanes and you just 'happen to' pass by someone on your left.
Fun fact, these sirens appear to work “better” too. There’s a few videos about it and it turns out the sound waves and pitch has a bigger reach. I had no idea either, but it’s really interesting to learn what a difference it can make.
That and since its a 2 tone, it alternates so your ears dont get used to the sound where youd stop hearing it. And this siren also gives a much better idea of how far away they are from you.
Probably because they're a lower pitch? (just guessing)
also, u can hear if it is coming to u or going away from u because of the doppler effect. the 2-tone makes it possible, unlike the rolling pitch/Freq. on the US sirens 🚨
Just the other day I noticed also that these sirens are somehow much more audible in front and behind the police vehicle, and not as much beside it. I guess for oncoming traffic it's the most important that it's well audible for them. On top of that, it's less annoying when driving through a residential neighbourhood.
The driver has a small button next to the clutch pedal, to increase the speed of the sirens. This makes it stand out even more to traffic in front of them. Ambulances have this too btw.

sometimes your app gives a different translation than you have in your head. Dont get confused, most of the times you were right. Just that sometimes in dutch words have multiple meanings when put in different context! you are doing so well. And i didnt mind you pausing for translations, in contrary, i appreciated it a lot as it shows your dedication and interest. thanks!
Same I like the eagerness to learn
Fellow dutch person here, same deal! Appreciate the efforts to learn and understand whats really going on in the video.
I've always said that to an English speaker, Dutch sounds like English being spoken quietly in another room. You may not be able to hear the words, but it has similar intonations and rhythms to English so it feels familiar. This makes it easier to learn because you're not struggling against the feeling of foreignness.
Unfortunately I'm terrible with languages so I never really learned more than half a dozen phrases useful for travel.
@@cmlemmus494Still pretty cool you learned some phrases! Most Americans coming here assume we all just speak English, which most people do, but the showing of effort is really nice and we help a bit more haha😊
@@tana3545 Well, I'm Canadian. ;) Also, I was pretty well travelled at that point, we'd been living in Ghana and had previously lived in Peru. Learning how not to get into trouble as a teenager seemed like a good plan.
As a Belgian guy I admire the dutch police and I admire your eagerness to understand dutch lmao
Fun fact: The police academy in the US takes 6 months to complete. So that means after only 6 months of training a police officer in the US is qualified to use force lethal and non lethal, also US cops can use their firearm whenever they feel threatened.
To become a peace officer in the Netherlands takes u around 3 to 5 years (depends on rank). They will teach you a lot, and i mean a lot of communication skills. Teacher quote: "Your words are your most powerful weapon".
My point: US police officers aren't prepared enough for the job. Extend their training with 1 year minimum and my guess is there will be less police shooting fatality's.
6 months only?? Thats crazy. Not hard to see where the problem lies bruh
Dutch sirens are meant to be heard around buildings. It's been scientifically proven this tone works well for use in urban areas.
to bad the new electronic ones dont have any damn volume in them anymore. nearly t-boned an ambulance the other day because i just couldnt hear them coming from literally right around the corner.
Man as a Dutch guy who lived in Utrecht a while this is amazing content dude, much love!!!❤ Also seeing foreigners trying to understand Dutch is one thing, but being as dedicated as you... Great job dude stay awesome!!!!
I don't mind you translating tbh, this is probably the best way to learn dutch.
Our Dutch cop national slogan (stickered on the side off most police vehicles) is; Waakzaam en dienstbaar. That translates to; vigilant and subservient, this video clearly shows that the slogan isn't windowdressing but the true mindset for our police force ✌️❤
Bollocks, what they say and what they do are two different things.
What about the SS symbols on the cars? The kings fathers who was n*zi
Let me not start on the koningklijke marichausee or whatever its called a front from transgender marie force they swore an oath to a secret group not the dutch people and they protect corrupt politicians
Waakzaam en dienstbaar dienst voor wie?
Dutch doesnt exist anymore only europe
German citizen here who migrated to the Netherlands in 2008: I experienced the worst treatment by our southern cops - harassment, assault, battery, unlawful arrest and humiliation in different ways, all under false premises. I never committed any offence in my life and got a clear record - I just happen to look “bad” as I am a long haired, bike-riding metalhead. This is mainly because German cops are incredibly badly trained - no real background checks, no composure-training and so on. When it comes to the Dutch: I love Dutch cops. They are literally “citizens in uniform” - they talk before escalating unnecessarily, are extremely composed and usually act reasonably. Like in generic traffic controls for example - had several of these and by the end of the day, it always boiled down to the Dutch officers being like: “Yeah we just got to do what we got to do, but how’s your day going so far?” All followed by lovely chats about the recent football match results or sometimes recommendation a for restaurants to go to and what not. As they say here:
Goed bezig, dames en jongens! If only other nations would learn from the Dutch in this regard.
Sharing the same experience about your southern boys in Germany. Was travelling from the Czech Republic, crossed the border and after the border was immediately pulled. Mind you I was coming from a south-east european country in the EU. I know a little german from my highschool years, so I could understand the main context, but can't really speak it. They talked german only and pretended they didn't understand english, even thought when I answered their questions, they obviously understood me. Searched me and my car for 30 freaking minutes on -9 degrees and forbid me from getting my jacket. Honestly a terrible experience, which could have been a lot better if they just explained what the fuck was happening and not let me freeze in the cold for 30 min.
When I worked in the Netherlands 20 years ago many older people told me they learned german by watching the dubbed Sesame-Street on german TV as a child. So it's funny to hear you're watching Sesam-Straat to learn Dutch now. 😂
I also did. Over45 years ago.
And I still profit from it.
Watching cartoons whitout subs also helps :)
as a car driver, you are actually required to move out of the way when you can when a police car, ambulance, or firetruck with blasting sirens is passing by. if you don't (when you can) you can actually get a big fine for obscuring the way for these vehicles
Lepelenburg =>translator=> Spoonenburg 🤣
You translating stuff and learning Dutch is my favourite part of the video. So we don't mind at all you doing it
112 is the European version of 911 by the way :) That's what they're talking about in the beginning; they get dispatched to 911 calls, but they can also be dispatched to non-urgent calls (separate phone number for that)
Wrong, every countrey has his own alarmnumber, like Gemany is 110, Belgium 101, ect
@@agnessenga3450 wrong. 112 works everywhere in Europe.

Okay wow why don’t ya celebrate it by saying that show off mf
fun fact, JW (or Jan-Willem), lost his drivers license last year. When he was driving home he drove 51km over the speedlimit, so he lost his license...He got it back after 2 months...

The irony of Dutch bikes not being cheap in the US is that they are the cheapest bikes we have in the Netherlands. That's part of the reason they are so common, the low price makes them an easy buy for most people
I'm Dutch, and I can say Google Translate is much better than the automatic translation from UA-cam. Your translations from Google Translate are perfect! Nice video and nice to hear about the difference between the Dutch and American police.
The Acorn situation was worse because he didn’t check where the danger supposedly came from AND his colleague also started shooting at the car just because he did. US cops are the most lethal in the world, killing 1100 US citizens versus cops killing 2 people in Japan and the UK.
US cops get on average 3-6 months of training versus 2-4 years in almost every other country in the world. But they do get the most firearm training and are given the message their lives are more important than civilians. So shoot first ask questions later.
Plus he could have insured his colleagues or bystanders by just shooting randomly. US cops are the WORST!
True that and they treat you like you are an enemy I loved in Colorado for a year.omg they are aggressive too I'm blessed being European
I love how you paused and translated, and most of the time you got it right. I love the eagerness to learn, and simultaneously, you learn dutch which is hard
Our police doesn't have a 6 month education but it actually takes a few years to be eligible to be a policeman. As far as i know. I'm not a policeman though.

De basisopleiding voor de politie duurt in totaal 3 jaar. Dit is inclusief een jaar praktijkstage bij een politie-eenheid. De opleiding bestaat uit een combinatie van theorie en praktijk. Tijdens de opleiding leer je onder andere wet- en regelgeving, communicatie, zelfverdediging en het uitvoeren van politietaken.
De eerste 6 maanden van de opleiding zijn voornamelijk gericht op de theoretische kennis die nodig is om een goede politieagent te worden. Je leert bijvoorbeeld over de Nederlandse wetgeving, de rechten van burgers en de taken van de politie. Daarnaast krijg je ook vakken als communicatie, psychologie en zelfverdediging.
Na deze eerste 6 maanden begint de praktijkstage. Dit is een belangrijk onderdeel van de opleiding, omdat je hiermee de kans krijgt om de geleerde kennis in de praktijk toe te passen. Tijdens de praktijkstage loop je mee met ervaren politieagenten en leer je hoe je moet omgaan met verschillende situaties. Je leert bijvoorbeeld hoe je moet optreden bij een verkeersongeval, hoe je een verdachte moet aanhouden en hoe je moet communiceren met burgers.
Na de praktijkstage volgt er nog een jaar van theoretische en praktische lessen. Hierbij wordt er dieper ingegaan op de verschillende aspecten van het politiewerk. Je leert bijvoorbeeld hoe je moet omgaan met agressie, hoe je een onderzoek moet uitvoeren en hoe je moet rapporteren.
Just some minor comments...
OC = Operational Centre, or what the US would refer to as dispatch.
RTIC = Real Time Intelligence Centre.
>>>>Dutch pronunciation... 'ie' is pronounced like the ee in 'see'. If you see 'tie' at the end of a word in dutch, it is pronounced as 'tsee'. (No clue why, but I think that's some sort of french thing that snuck in over time. Usually it is just 'tee'.)
Vechtpartij... literally 'fight party'. But just like in English, the word 'partij' is also used to refer to political parties, so you can consider it a word for 'group' as well from that point of view. Ergo, a group fight.
Obviously the kind of issues experienced by a cop differ greatly depending on the location and the type of shift they are doing. In this case they are doing an emergency shift, which means they are primarily responding to the type of 112 (=european 911) calls calls like those in this video. This particular vlogger is actually active in a special 'media' unit nowadays to my knowledge, and he joins colleagues in various places in the country. As such he tends to cover a wide variety of things and put spotlights on less-seen police work such as the work done during festivals, parties, big sports events, planned random checks of vehicles and the sort. But he has also joined colleagues who are active in the harbor of Rotterdam, joined the high speed intervention unit (basically highway police) and recently joined a colleague whose primary work of cause was at an immigration centre.
I can also recommend the general 'Politie' channel which tends to have car chases and the occasional bit of international cooperation when idiots think that open borders are a good way to escape the law. xD
Vechtpartij also works if it's just 2 people though, and 2 people don't make up a group. Or maybe they do, I always figured a groep was more than 2 people. That's not even getting into the mechanics of when a group turns into a meute :D
Oh yeah! That car chase across the German border. That was a nice chase. Interestingly the Dutch police IS allowed to chase a certain distance into Germany and vise versa. The chase ended with Dutch and German police together.
Nobody cares .. but if you really want to make yourself look good, go ahead
Hi! Dutchie here, just came across your channel and I'm thoroughly entertained with your reactions! It's cool to see an American person being intrigued with this country 😌
About "the Dutch police seems much nicer Vs USA police", I have to agree with you.
I've had several encounters with the Dutch police, and 85% of them were overwhelmingly positive.
Once in a domestic vi0lence case where they immediately came to action, got me safely away and they even helped me cut all ties with my ex as safely as possible. They literally saved my life and i am so grateful for them.
Another time when I was cycling and forgot to put my lights on - a cop stopped me, told me "hey, it's a waste to get into accidents because your lights are off. You're still so young, value that by ensuring your safety!". That was a very caring and fatherly natured person.
Last year i got stuck in the snow with my wheelchair (its a powered wheelchair so pretty damned heavy) and there was no one around to help me. Thank god the police came by and they helped me out and ensured I got home safely.
The negative points though..
There are some absolute d1cks. Mostly the officers are kind and want to help, but some abuse their power, like to use excessive force & only want the high-adrenaline cases (mxrder, high speed chases, drug busts etc) and are nearly useless in for example small theft or stalking cases.
Racial profiling is one of the issues too - some see a person of colour and they immediately are "suspicious" of them for no reason.
The other big problem is that the police force is so busy and overworked that you're often unable to successfully file charges against someone who committed a sex or stalking crime.
I got sexually assaulted by someone and needed medical assistance afterwards. It was an absolute mess, needed 6 months of revalidation and 3 surgeries, felt disgusting and wanted the perpetrator to face the hell he deserved.
But when I went to file charges, I got a sh1t officer who told me "good luck. Your case will be checked but due to overworked staff were unable to handle it and actually do something. Unless you know who the person was and have evidence it was him, we are unable to help now".
I was screwed. I didn't know the person who SA'ed me - only the clothes he wore, his accent, language & the place it happened at.
Maybe it was just a sh1t officer who didn't want to bother, but I've heard similar struggles from fellow SA victims.
So, no - you won't be randomly shot and killed. But you do face the possibility of not being taken seriously, being racially profiled or having no one in your corner when it comes to SA & stalking cases.
the problem with the 2nd SA is that there is no evidence remaining(unless you had something that his dna) because then your case could have some backing but a case without proof and especially without knowing who is tbh lost from the get go. its almost impossible to find the person in the Netherlands(racial diverse and high density population) and he might have not been from the place you were or since you specified language from the Netherlands.
i do feel for you but think realistically how where they ever gonna find that person
you can thank our fucked up politics that makes it so the dutch police just don't have time for low priority cases as Dutch politics does not care about their citizens, only the rich ones.
@@flopjul3022 in that case it's indeed difficult. However, people should still be able to file charges. several of the other victims I've spoken with did the rape kit to provide DNA evidence after the VICTIMS begged them, but the police still did the same thing and never followed up.
There was a possibility that in my case there were street cams too but they never bothered to check. I was quite literally torn to shreds down there as well and the possibility he'd do it to someone else was big, which is why I still wanted to file charges even if nothing came of it. they just never even gave me the chance to do so. It was immediately "no, too busy". I've kept the clothes of that day in a bag and never washed them, provided medical information about the surgeries I needed (those rapports stated there was severe genital trauma) and gave them the place and date.
Being told "no" just hurts even more in these cases.
Are they?.. This is from the corona demonstration ua-cam.com/video/uvUD44YNcDU/v-deo.html
Basically, you are saying that they couldn't help you on short terms because they don't have enough manpower. Of course this shouldn't be but at least they tell you in honestly. Up to you but because they told you, you can go to a higher or other authority. "Rechtshulp", is an organisation who helps you to get your legal and human rights they advise you without costs.
I love the pronunciation, you read it like it's spanish. Cops helped me out 4 times already without me asking for it.
Just to be clear. If you are stopped by any police in europe and you have drugs in various packages and a lot of cash..... you WILL be going to jail, unless you are very lucky. That would go to court. It would be for dealing. If it was Class A drugs you'd have no chance.
Not even with marihuana in Holland its illegal to transport but oké to smoke
They tollared maybey 1 joint if you are Lucky so Amsterdam is not drug paradise wat people abroad think😂😂
The officers are nice here but theres no respect from the community, we never say thank you to a police officer or from army or medics we can come close to an officer without getting taserd😂😂
And all kinds or wapons or you can use like a wapon is forbidden even a baseballstick in the car or just walking with it
@@ikke7627 Weed is still illegal across the board in the NL. Like if you wanna talk laws, possession and use of any kind is illegal. The difference is that usage and < 5g isn't enforced, because it tends to be more paperwork than it's worth.
Non-enforcement =/= legality. Meaning that if a cop *wants* to enforce your use of weed, they are well within the law to make you suffer for it. 🤷🏽

Hi. 112 is not a number it’s Europe’s emergency number, similar to 911 in the US and 999 in the UK. However, the UK recognizes that Europe and the USA has different numbers for emergency calls but have built in access for these numbers.
Emergency number in Zwitserland is 114.
" Why's everybody not be able to breathe so good over there" lol
So the first person had a heart attack so needed to be resuscitated, but it was to late. The second person became unwell and lost consciousness because of a epileptic seizure. Love the video`s and you passion to learn the Dutch language.
But not too late.
resuscitation means heart has stopped and you need to defib/CPR or do exercises to restart the heart.
112 is like 911 in America, the emergency number. Utrecht is both a province and the head-city of that same province ;) So they were probably in the city Utrecht as they were talking about North.
I live in the same province just not Utrecht, but its close :).
Dutch cops are super kind and respectfull they always wave and talk with you if they arent in a hurry and make jokes. I find it calming
Just a few notes:
- As other have said: 112 is our emergency number, comparable to 911 in the US or 999 in the UK (dialing 911, or 999 here will likely also get you through to 112)
- Police very often close of areas with "tape", that's the red/white tape you see. I believe in the US it would usually be yellow/black? The actual ducttape (I think was only 1 roll) is just for fixing things, as cops tend to help with some things once in a while too.
- It seems the subtitles are picking up the radio chatter too, making them very hard to follow.
- The lady that needed resuscitation died, they didn't show any of that. The second call, a gentleman, at the university was someone that had a seizure, and went to hospital for a check up, he lived.
- You have to wear a helmet on any motorised two wheeled vehicles. On the slow mopeds (snorfietsen mistranslated as Norwegianbike here), this is pretty recent, and quite a lot of people don't want to do it...
- Emergency services only have Blue lights, and standard sirens. Red wouldn't mean anything here. (But it's still illegal to have any colour flashing lights on your car, other than what it came with......with the exception of amber warning lights if you have a "good" reason)
- "On the Fist" means physical fighting
- The "drug dealer" was afraid of being attacked by junkies....I wonder why? 🤨
- The shoplifter in the Mediamarkt was explaining that it was a compulsive behaviour thing and that he has been in trouble before.
- Door can mean through, but in this context it mean "on to" as in "on to the next one" (Door naar de volgende), it can also mean other things (welcome to Dutch 😋) "This was done _by_ him" (Dit is _door_ hem gedaan)
- The fight in the park was between groups of homeless people, and they didn't want to make up a police report, so they didn't look into it any further.
- Yes, voices are changed, due to privacy laws
- At the fight where someone was punched in the face, they took names/numbers for all involved and witnesses, and will call them later to process this properly. This was done because they were very busy and they had more important things to do.
The woman in the bike was pulled over for having her phone in her hand. It wasn’t because her bike was similar.
In The Netherlands you have to make room for the emergency services. If you can do that without pulling over, you do that without. Which means, if there are 5 cars in the left lane and none in the right, you keep the right lane empty for them. Or you make a “rettungsgasse” (the left lane goes as far to the left as possible and the right lane as far to the right as possible so there is room in between them). Or on a roundabout you simply make a full circle. What ever you need to do to make room. Technically you’re not allowed to run a red light to make room, but if you do it safely the fine will be dismissed most of the time.
In The Netherlands the police are dispatched to any call for medical aid in public or if a cardiac arrest is suspected or lies in the realm of possibility. That’s because with a cardiac arrest it’s imperative that cpr with AED use is started as soon as possible. Every police car has an AED on board and cops are trained in its use. So is the fire department, so in many places FD is alerted to. So, if you call 112 for a cardiac arrest it can be that 3/4 police cars, a fire truck and two ambulances come in the scene. On top of that we have HartslagNU (or AEDAlert in some Dutch regions) where members of the public who can perform CPR are alerted to. So 5/10 CPR qualified “burgerhulpverleners” (community first responders) might show up too.
If it turns out it’s not a cardiac arrest, at least the ambulance has the help from the police.
The two back to back priority calls were 2 different people. The first was a cardiac arrest. When the ambulance came in scene they declared the patient deceased.
The second was someone who was “onwel” which is a general medical emergency that can be anything. In scene it turned out it was someone having an epileptic seizure. Another police unit was already in scene and the patient had already come around. So the help of Jan-Willem and his colleague wasn’t needed.
As to your question, in The Netherlands emergency services only have blue lights. Not red lights. In The Netherlands by law red lights on a vehicle can only be brake lights and running lights. Also, studies have shown that when a light color can mean multiple things possibly become unclear. So having red flashing lights on a vehicle is a no go here. That’s the same reason why turning signals are a separate orange light instead of the brake light flashing like in the USA.
The drugs call was because someone saw drugs being exchanged from a car to a pedestrian. JW and colleague were checking the car and looking for the drugs. They did not find drugs but they did find a large amount of money and a knife. The knife was taken into custody and the money was out in a report. The guy refused to show his ID so he got a fine for that.
The call of the fight was because someone received a head kick. Closing in on the scene the suspects ran. So the cops were coordinating a search. But they didn’t find the suspects.
Next they received another call about a fight. The guy they talked to was banned from the shelter he was at and was ordered to leave the area.
They should stop trying to eat because the next call was again a fight😂 a couple of people were in a verbal altercation when someone came up to them and hit one of them. Because of how busy it was the victim, suspect and witnesses had to come into the station later to make the report.
The last call was for a suicidal person. In scene it turned out he wasn’t suicidal but just confused. He thought someone was in his house, while no one was there.
The call you cut off was another fight.
European style siren sounds are also better in practice. The pitch going up and down following a sinewave that US uses is difficult to locate in the soundfield. When it switches from one pitch to another we get more clues about the direction of the sound, the abrupt change can be heard thru echoes and we can separate them. Sinewave pitch will muddy all of those important clues completely.
For the question at 19:00, Utrecht has a population of 1.3 million.
The first person simply suffered a heart attack and unfortunately passed away. The second person simply had an epileptic seizure and was (relatively) okay.
Allot of people have issues but because it's a big city with allot of people they send the cops to pretty much every call to help.
This is the result of well trained police officers, a good healthcare system and the fact that nobody is allowed to carry a gun.
"Norwegian bicycle" 🤣
Norwegian bike 😁… no way… he said ‘snorfiets’.
a mustache bike
*These men are not Cops.* They're Police.
This is the difference between Policing being a college degree ane 'cops' being a half-year shooting course.
love how you practice Dutch, but watch out and know that the translations from the app translate the sentence and meaning to match but it isn't word for word. So words like "door" and "naar" are translated differently depending on the grammar
If you like these, there's also a Dutch show on Videoland called 'bureau Rotterdam' ('station' as in police station) which follows the police in big cities, there are multiple: bureau rotterdam, bureau arnhem etc. I don't know if you can do reactions due to copyright, but it's interesting to watch. They don't cut out as much as they do here.
Dutch police are very friendly. I was stopped there once and they are so polite. Good evening sir, sorry to bother you, we are controlling for dui. Would you mind participating … But in Western Europe you really don’t have to worry at all when police stop you. Just don’t insult them. We have freedom of expression, not freedom of speech. Insulting a police officer can lead to an arrest.
And it’s ik spreek, long ee. You say ik sprek.
_"... controlling for dui. Would you mind participating?"_ - While they asked nicely, it's worth pointing out that taking the portable breathalizer test is not something you can refuse; cooperation is mandated by law ;)
It's also probably alot less stressfull in the Netherlands, because it isn't legal to carry a gun.
Not that it's bad to carry guns, but it probably creates alot of stress, that literally everyone could be carrrying a gun.
@@cookiecrumbs2840 I was comparing to my experiences with police in Belgium. They are friendly too here but more in an authoritarian way. 6 months ago I was stopped because I was driving with an open window at night. They thought I was drinking. I get stopped and they really treat my like I am guilty of something. Alcohol test is negative but they order me to follow them to the station 10 km further for a drug test. Also negative, no apologies, nothing. They looked annoyed I had done nothing wrong.
someone i know went to a party, she was BOB (person assigned to not drink, so they can drive), on the way back home, there was a DUI inspection, she got asked if she had a drink (alcohol) and she said yes (while she didnt had any alcoholic drinks), so she was guided to a parking lot where she had to do a breathalyzer test, no alcohol, so the officer said that she had no alcohol in her breath, she responded with: "u didnt ask WHAT i drinked", the other people in the car (who did drink alcohol) were laughing their ass off, the cops were NOT happy/amused by her response....
@@yfbb1 I know a woman who became a cop. She told me her colleague stood on a bike lane and gave citations to drunk bike riders. We are not the Netherlands, when people ride bikes coming from a bar it’s probably because they were planning to drink and left the car at home. We have a little cottage in a village in France. There is no traffic light, no police, no flashes. It feels so free to just have a couple of glasses of wine and go home without any worry. There are narrow winding roads with trees everywhere, if you are too drunk to drive you pay the consequences. You can only have that in small villages but I love it. It reminds me how it was when I was young before BOBs and flashes and coordinated alcohol controls. I was not a drinker or party animal but I would have had problems sooner or later acting now like I did then.
That cop lost his driver's license and wasn't allowed to drive for a while, but overall good cop and he actually did own up to his mistake
yeah it was a dumb mistake but it can happen to anyone and everyone and they showed it doesnt matter if you are a cop or a civ you will lose the license for a while
@@prity5631it wasn't a mistake, LMAO. It was on purpose.
@@prity5631 150 on a 100 road, not really accidental
Certainly for a cop he knew he was being dumb and accepted the punishment. And he told it so I feel he's punished enough and I hope he learned his lesson.
@@nickvanachthoven7252 .... in the middle of the night going home from late night shift , Not clever, but in his next vlog he immediately informed his viewers openly about his mistake. Had to pay af ine and 3 months not allowed to drive . And probably have to wait a little bit longer for a next promotion in future
During the shift, their pulse never got over 80. All they ever wanted was to eat their lunch. Fucking love them.
The lunch thing cracked me up too. "So this is our second-" "No THIRD" "Right, our THIRD attempt to have our food."
Why do Dutch people have to swear all the time?
@@annekathleen4498 Well we just do not need to BEEP that out. That's "freedom"...
Its really funny to watch with these CC lol I love how hard you try to read the Dutch words and also understand it a little! Well done!
Prio 1: Use of optical and sound signals. The vehicle is a priority vehicle for the performance of their task. Prio 2: No use of optical and sound signals. The unit does have certain exemptions (such as driving against traffic, parking on the sidewalk, etc.)
The translating is fine, we have a lot of proverbs and the like so translating can we rough, from the subtitles seem to be doing a decent job, even some proverbs I've never heard before(but makes sense due to context) were translated which is wild to me lol
You should look up Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse doing "Amsterdam Cops" lol
insane how you are imrpoving your dutch A LOT but just watching a video! Respect!!
This cop Jan-Willem is a famous vlogger in The Netherlands he is correct and righteous,but believe me most of the cops in Netherlands are not like him
You live in the state Indiana right? Bicycle Garage Indy is selling e-bikes from the brand Gazelle (a well known dutch bicycle brand) That brand is apparently trying to find ground in the USA now too. They aren't cheap like you said though...
Also a hint for learning languages. Try foreign karaoke. If you memorize the lyrics in both language of a song, you can more easily memorize the words used and it's corresponding pronunciations. And use the song as a tool to recall words in other situations by trying to recall how the song went.
that is because they are electrical bikes regular puschbikes can be had for as litele as 100 euro including tax
At 5:35 you're wondering what the "Wij worden door het OC opgeroepen voor een spoedmelding" means. Word by word it translate to "We are being called/hailed by the OperationsCenter for a emergency call". Those calls are 112 calls so the equivalent of a urgent 911 call over there.
The translations are auto generated so they are a bit off sometimes. Like it translated "voor het zelfde geld is het wel zo" completely wrong even if you'd take it word by word. It should have translated it to "For the same money it would have been indeed/yes so" which still would have been strange as it's a dutch saying. In this context it meant "but it might just as well have been.
The auto translated it to "for the bile it is well so yes oh."
That part was about someone having called to tell someone stole his bike. When the police arrived both suspect and the one that called were sitting there on a bench. The police then went to check the serial(frame) numbers on the bike. They had the caller tell his frame numbers and then concluded they didn't match the bike so the suspect got off as they couldn't prove it was a stolen bike but at least they proved it wasn't the one they were looking for.
Resuscitation should have been translated to "reanimation".
Yes or they call it CPR
Do you speak Dutch, by any chance? If so, am I correct in understanding that those lads in the first clip were flipping off the police, and the officer told them not to do it again?
@@annasofiehjelm6332 Not only do I speak it, It's my native language ;). Those lads were flipping off (middlefingers) to some other guy, not to the police. Police must have thought they were looking for a fight or so and stepped in. Police asked why they'd do that and why they'd think it's OK. The reaction of the guys was just hilariously sad. "Like uhh, what's the issue if I am raising my middlefinger to him and he think's its a normal thing to do then what's the issue? (his dutch is very poor though so it came out a bit more broken and with a accent). Then the officer asks if they can ask the dude if they can ask that other dude and then they are like.. Uhh, ". Then the police ends with "you know him?". And they say "its a friend". Yeahh.. right. Everything just points to a group of "nice" people that sooner or later "just get attacked out of the blue" and sometimes in those cases police just knows and steps in to let them know they are being watched.
@@JustRoharas Oh my, that was an informative answer! I don't speak Dutch, but the subs seem a bit off and they're hard to make sense of. Anyway, thank you so much for clearing that up for me and it was great to see the police being so calm in the situation 🙂
@@annasofiehjelm6332 Really happy with Dutch police in general. They can be more relaxed as there is virtually no danger of anyone carrying a gun so when approaching a random person or are taking care of regular stuff like thefts or idiots than they can be confident there willl be no guns involved 99% of the time. That alone I imagine takes away A LOT of tension.
Besides that the shortest police educational course (for basic officer) is a 2.5 year course in which they also asses mental state to some degree. Now it won't be a full mental/psychological checkup as far as I know but at least you'll need to have proven to be able to stay composed and that you handle/deescalate situations while avoiding any violence (yours or suspects). Even then some rotten apples might slip through the academy but it's far less common and even those will at least know the laws and protocols.
I do have massive respect for him trying to learn dutch, even people who came here from other countrys to live here dont wanna learn dutch.
Keep it up man!❤
You trying to truly understand what is being said honestly only adds to my enjoyment watching this
Most people seem to forget that American police officers have to deal with situations in which everybody could potentially have a gun.
Police in Europe are so much friendlier because they don't worry for their life every single day
and why do you think that is.
@@marcianokock4814 Hardly anyone in Europe has a gun.
In Europe people run the country for the people, America is ran by companies for money.
There are no companies here selling pharmaceuticals, cars or guns that have a say in politics.
I mean, criminals generally don't care about gun laws. Or any laws for that matter. The odds are smaller that a perpetrator has a gun but dutch cops still need theirs
klokkenhuuuiiisss! 😆 also: you should watch "tommie, ieniemienie & sien" or even.. "loekie" (which are all dutch classics from our youth)
don't forget Dikkie Dik

I like the fact that your also learning Dutch whilst you translate it, keep it up!
This was a good video, I was totally into it!
Dutch police is really about "to protect and serve" it's not just a slogan.
protect and serve, right for the goverment indeed. not for us.
@@mikevanaerle9779It's a 3 year college degree, not a half-year training course.
@@JoshSweetvale lol I know they learn how to obey and work for the government. they are pretty good at it to not think for them selfs
Funnily enough, my favourite part of this video is you reading and trying to figure out Dutch.
I've lived in the south of Frisia for the last 14 years in a small town and I've only seen a police car three times in that time, I kid you not
Did you notice that with the sirens on, all the other cars move aside if possible, to let the police go past? It is a law to do so.
Good you are learning Dutch!!!
This is so cool, 2 streets away in a certain part of the video and you saw my house lmao 😂
0:04 LOL!!! Reminds me of "Police Squad/Naked Gun" instantly xD
That line begins with “Wij worden (weggeroepen) door het OC” means “We are called to leave by the OC, like the headquarter, for another Emergency.
Really like to see you learn in real time!
About the helmet: when you have a blue licence plate on your bike its recorded to go slow enough to not have to wear a helmet, but when its yellow like allmoost all the plates in the country, you need to wear a helmet. But for cars when you see a blue license plate is prob a taxi.
About the emergency lights: They have blue for priority calls. Orange for on scene kinda stuff or just to warn other drivers like: "hey shomething is going on!" And they also have green but that is almost not used as it means like: "i am command on scene". and when they pull someone over they have: "stop politie" (police) at the front and back and "volg politie" (follow, police!) on the back!
the one cop who got famous and lost his drivers license for speeding XD
No issue with the pauses. Really admire your dedication to get educated.
Love how you took the time 2 translate..
I love what you have done to your place as your channel have grown. That´s how an upgraded dining room should look like.
my place is crap I use a green screen lol
@@ItsCharlieVest He he...Don´t tell anyone, you are totally getting away with it 😀
Not one gun pulled out.
There is a lot of paperwork to do if you draw your weapon, and if you shoot there is always an investigation that is done by the military police instead of the normal one. Something akin of the FBI always looking into shootings by cops... In america they would be overwhelmed here in the Netherlands not so. As gunfights are so rare some police never will have to draw their gun.
Heck just drawing your weapon means reams of paperwork afterwards to justify drawing it; add to that the *separate* stack of paperwork to fill out if you actually fire your gun. Plus the judicial review as to whether or not it was absolutely necessary. It really is a thing of absolute last resort. Unless it's a report about someone who was confirmed to have a weapon of their own, then police will approach with weapons drawn (because justified) - still doesn't release them from having to do a fuckton of paperwork...
@@randar1969 The investigation is not done by the militairy police (KMar), but by the Rijksrecherche.
turns out, when there arent many guns around, police dont have to treat every interaction with the possibility of getting shot at.
@@nickvanachthoven7252This is the actual answer, thank you. That was my entire point.
Maybe interesting to know, we have 3 lights on the rescue vehicles: blue is the siren only used in emergency, either with or without the sirens, yellow for safety when standing on the road and green for the big emergencies where you have multiple vehicles of the same party. The one with the green light is in the lead and will oversee the incident.
As a Dutch person you did a amazing job with this video 🎉
I loved all the eh eh eh in the transalation😂
We uh and ah and eh just as much as anyone else really >.>
The app on your phone is very accurate. Nice Dutch skills, man!
18:57 yes those were 2 different people
During the resuscitation the person unfortunately died and the report at this school concerned an epileptic attack, this person regained consciousness and was transferred to the hospital for evaluation.
21:10 Emergency lights on all emergency vehicles are blue here. They can also use Orange lights in case of guarding a traffic accident on a highway for example.
As a linguistics student, I am actually quite impressed by these auto-generated subtitles as well as the google translate app you used. There's a couple of Dutch sayings like "bij kennis zijn" (regaining consciousness) and "alles is weer in kannen en kruiken" (everything is in order again). Because the literal translations for these are "be with knowledge" and "everything is in jugs and pitchers again". I was afraid you weren't gonna understand what I expected to be botched translations but I was pleasantly surprised lol.
Edit: Right as I say that the subtitles don't understand going "on the fist" (op de vuist gaan). That's a literal translation of what they said, it's a saying that means someone got into a fight or that a fight got physical.
As someone from the Netherlands it's really interesting to see how you compare it to the US and it's also great to see you try to learn Dutch during the video instead of jumping to Google Translate right away. Keep up the good work :)
20:10 Yea true, they changed it a while ago. Beforehand only mopeds with a yellow license plate, which are allowed to drive a maximum of 45kmph were required to wear a helmet. Nowadays mopeds with a blue license plate are also required to wear a helmet, mopeds with a blue license plates are allowed to drive a maximum of 25kmph.
It's pure for their own safety, although bikes can go 25kmph as well, it's far likely that they ride this fast, because most people drive around 15-20kmph.
I like it when you take your phone to translate. You make an effort to understand what is going on.
10:51 also fact: this type of 2-tone siren also gives people on the road a good sense from which direction the emergency vehicle is coming from.
This was so much fun to watch as a Dutch person who studied in Utrecht. I’m also going to follow JanWillem because it’s just very cool to see how chill Dutch police is. I watch a lot of American cops make bad mistakes, refreshing to see that we do way better.
And if you want to learn Dutch I’d love to help. I’ve studied English so I’m pretty proficient in it.
i live in the NL, i remember feeling unwell and fainting, and i woke up with my mom holding me, people around me offering me water and whatnot, the ambulance arrived and even though i was up again they did a bunch of checks, only to hear me say "oh no, i dont wanna faint again" and just clocking out right there. turns out it was a bunch of different non threatening factors just combining into extreme weakness, and i was good to go. it was definitely scary though.
The first medical incident was probably a heart attack, they didn't survive.
The second incident was an epileptic episode. Think of epilepsy as an electric circuit where wires that aren't supposed to touch, touch. So sometimes it short-circuits. They can accidentally harm themselves during such an episode. That's why afterwards the ambulance brought him to the hospital to make sure he was okay.
"Huiselijk geweld" literally translates to "homely violence".
Not annoying at all, it seems like you are trying to learn more. Which is always good, appreciate the content!I hope you'll be able to grab a dutch bike.
amazing video cant wait for more
Training to become a cop in the Netherlands takes at least 2 years. I rest my case...
The change in police officers' attitude, though, came when "we" started to admit people to police school after personality tests. "We" don't want psychopaths abusing citizens while in uniform. "We" don't want insecure people that need to compensate that in uniform. As "you cannot make things 'foolproof' because fools are so ingenious" there will be a very low % of people slipping through the admission tests. "Integrity" is extremely important.
And, lets not forget there also is a police academy for higher ranks than we generally see in the streets - with higher requirements to prior education level, and admission tests.
Also a lot of candidates that do get admitted to the academy wash out later on.
@@Jacqueline_Thijsen - true, and cops have gone to school, not academy
Firstly you need to learn Dutch..or you cant get the education for copying.
Not anymore. Nowadays its only half a year before they are released on the streets.
Fun Fact to your question: Yes Dutch police only have blue light, this is a reason why one of the streetslang names for Police is "the Blue" (de Blauw),
"Going on the fist" is a mistranslated saying in dutch "Op de vuist gaan", it is translated literally here, but it actually means "to Brawl" or "to Fistfight" - it is literally the dutch equivalent to "throwing hands"
Brother if you keep this up, soon your knowledge of my country will be bigger than my own lmao
19:00 Yes, this were 2 different cases. One person died because heart massage failed, the other was unconsious for a moment but got better.
