Sigve Bolstad

Sigve Bolstad is a prominent Norwegian police officer and politician, known for his longstanding advocacy for the general arming of police in Norway. He began his career in law enforcement in 1988 and quickly became involved in police union leadership, eventually serving as the head of the Police Federation, where he played a crucial role in shifting the organization's stance on armed policing. Bolstad's efforts culminated in the recent announcement by the government to amend police laws to allow for general arming of officers, a significant policy shift in a country traditionally known for its unarmed police force.
