PocketBOA: a legal pocket guide for Dutch enforcement officers
PocketBOA presents a digital reference app that brings municipal APV rules, national laws, offense codes, and practical handling steps together for Dutch municipal enforcement officers.
- For
- Dutch municipal enforcement officers (boa's)
- Worth noticing
- The example distinguishes Article 45 of the Alcohol Act from the local APV for a 16-year-old drinking beer in public.
Field notes
The page frames the app as a field reference rather than a case-management system or training platform. Its sample answer separates the Alcohol Act basis from an APV provision, then points the officer to an offense-domain check before issuing a penalty order. The stated coverage includes more than 2,300 offense codes and 32 situation cards; the site says local APVs can be included and the reference works offline.
