The police in 2013 about 62,000 times data advanced. In most cases, this concerned so-called historical data, data that is in accordance with the retention requirements should be collected. Also drew heavily on the police more internet connections.
The number of claims was last year at about 62,000, a year earlier almost was 57,000, an increase of ten percent. Compared to 2011, the number of claims even with one-quarter increased.

In 2011, there were only 3300 internettaps placed. According to the ministry, the increase explained by the increased use of smartphones. If that is to be drained, is both a tap placed on the data connection if the telephone line. The number of wiretaps remained about the same.
