Recent data from the 2025 resident survey reveals a notable increase in trust towards the Oslo police, with 79% of respondents from Oslo, Asker, and Bærum expressing high or very high levels of trust. This rise in public confidence serves as a commendation for law enforcement personnel during challenging times, as noted by Police Chief Ida Melbo Øystese. The survey is crucial, as it assesses not only trust in the police but also people's sense of security and concerns about crime.

The survey's results also highlight that 65% of participants believe the police treat individuals fairly and impartially, which is a 9 percentage point increase from the previous year's data. This increase in perceived fairness points to positive shifts in public sentiment towards the police force. Chief Øystese explains that the police have worked hard in recent years to enhance their community presence, particularly in neighborhoods where residents feel most vulnerable, contributing significantly to the trust-building efforts.

Moving forward, the police are committed to thoroughly reviewing all feedback from the survey to further enhance their operations and community engagement. This focus on continual improvement reflects the police's dedication to building a safer and more trustworthy environment for all residents, as they aim to address the public's needs and concerns effectively.
