In November later the same year a majority of political parties agreed to temporarily arm police due to PST deeming the general terror threat in Norway to be heightened (police officers do not normally carry firearms in Norway, which are locked in patrol cars). The temporary arming of police was cancelled in February 2016, after first being cancelled by the National Police Directorate (POD) after PST had deemed the terror threat reduced just hours before the November 2015 Paris attacks. The Norwegian Police Federation and Minister of Justice Anders Anundsen disagreed with the decision and continue to advocate permanent arming of the police. Police in Oslo again introduced temporary arming of the police and increased patrols after the 2016 Brussels bombings on 22 March, lasting until 27 March. Opinion polling has shown that a clear majority of Norwegians want continued temporary arming of the police, with the public divided in the middle on making the arming permanent.
