The one that goes oink?

Law enforcement here has laaaargely been helpful. When someone tried stealing my bike one night in our backyard, I gave them a call. Po-po showed up in like 5-10 minutes. They brought a dog and went on the chase.. came back some 30 minutes later to tell me the crooks were apprehended, down at the station, and that at my convenience, I could come collect a bike computer they'd taken off with.

I view a police officer as someone who's in service to the general law-abiding citizen. Let's say I'm in a different town and wonder where something is, I might ask a cop if there's one available.

But I'm talking about Norway where police generally don't carry guns (they're kept in the cars) and police are trained to de-escalate conflicts and situations. They tend to be young and friendly.
