The spokesperson for the federal police declined to comment on the office photo but assures that they are working on improving the premises at Gosselies airport. They have initiated an improvement and expansion project for all LPA colleagues (the aeronautical police) at the Brussels South Charleroi Airport (BSCA). New premises have already been provided to some of the LPA colleagues and they are working with BSCA to improve the conditions for all LPA colleagues in the long run. The federal police has a total of 145 buildings across Belgium.
