Dutch term or phrase: stadsmarinier
Een stadsmarinier is de smeerolie als het om veiligheid gaat. Hij motiveert mensen, brengt partijen bij elkaar en zorgt ervoor dat afspraken nagekomen worden. De stadsmariniers zijn in 2002 door de burgemeester in de Rotterdamse deelgemeenten geplaatst als hardnekkige probleemsituaties zich voordoen.

See the following website:

"The role of Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) has been developed as a result of the Police Reform Act 2002. PCSOs work alongside the police in a supporting role. By dealing with minor incidents, PCSOs allow police officers to make more effective use of their time.

"I would now like to explain exactly what a City Marine (City Security Officer) is. The Dutch word ‘stadsmarinier’ was thought up by the well known psychologist Diekstra. In his opinion we should use military methods to solve difficult problems. If a difficult operation is to be carried out then the army sends its best people to the front, people who are dedicated, well trained, and know how to persevere. When combating insecurity, or in other words improving security, it depends on how you look at it, the exact opposite usually happens in the more important operations. Diekstra’s proposed that the City Council should also deploy the best people who should be given authority, power and means. Specifically seven hundred problem addicts should be removed from the streets, twenty five criminal youths in each district should be monitored and tackled, and criminal illegal immigrants should be dealt with. In short, concrete measures to combat concrete problems.

Although the City Marine does not take over anyone else’s job he does ensure that the necessary measures are carried out..."
