Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Politie Nederland
government enterprise infrastructure
A national police force's only block is named after the IT service that runs it, not after the police.
What it's used for
- A national police force's network. A single IPv4 prefix announced from the Netherlands, no IPv6, four thousand and ninety-six addresses, across five observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The netname is a country code, three initials belonging to the shared technology organisation that operates police systems, and a registration date from the last days of the year two thousand.
- The force itself is the registrant, with an abuse department listed second under a shortened form of the word for department.
- The AS handle and the holder field are the same two words, with no initials, no hyphen and no letters for an autonomous system, which is rare in a field almost always written as a code.
- Five upstreams for one block is a high count for a single-prefix network of this size.
- Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Police networks are built for availability rather than reach. Five separate connections for four thousand addresses is the same reasoning that puts two radios in every vehicle.
- The split between the force and its technology organisation shows up here exactly as it does in the budget: the mandate belongs to one body and the machines belong to another, and the netname records which of them signed the form.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 432 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
