Helgi Jensson, the police chief of the West Fjords, has been reported to the police oversight committee, NEL, due to allegations of harassment and violence at the Þorrablót event held in Stútungur, Flateyri on February 14. According to the reports, two individuals have come forward with serious accusations against Helgi, which have raised concerns about his conduct in a professional capacity.

One allegation involves sexual harassment directed towards a woman attending the Þorrablót, where Helgi allegedly asserted his authority by stating multiple times that he was the police chief, suggesting that she should comply with him. The woman believes that Helgi misused his power as a law enforcement officer during this incident, highlighting potential issues with accountability within the police force.

The second incident reported involves physical aggression towards a man on a different occasion during the same Þorrablót event. Both complaints have reached the Ministry of Justice, indicating a significant level of concern surrounding the actions of a police official. This situation raises important questions about police conduct and the need for thorough investigations into such serious allegations.
