Military Police to assist police in enforcing curfew

Agents from the Koninklijke Marechaussee, a policing force that works as part of the Dutch military and is usually in charge of border security, will assist the police in enforcing the 9 p.m. curfew on Monday night after a weekend of unrest rocked the country.
