Frederik Strand, museum director at the Police Museum (Politimuseet), gives a talk on how the ideal of the "proper policeman" shaped Danish police culture for decades, and how the force has since moved towards a more diverse and modern organisation.
Drawing on his extensive research into Danish police history, including the Aktion Möwe, Rejseholdet, Uropatruljen and Aktionsstyrken units, he uses historical examples to show how this masculine ideal influenced working culture, leadership and esprit de corps. The talk is part of the Herreklub Adams sønner gathering, which offers a talk, fellowship and lunch for men.
Frederik Strand also appears at the Police Museum on 19 November, where he takes part in the Pusher Street event with Carsten Norton.
