Hero Brinkman (born December 29, 1964 in Almelo) is a Dutch politician and former police officer. As a member of the Party for Freedom (Partij voor de Vrijheid - PVV) he has been an MP since November 30, 2006. He focuses on matters of internal affairs, government renewal, police, defense, administrative burden control, aliens and political asylum. Since March 10, 2011 he has also been a member of the States-Provincial of North Holland.
From 1985 to 2006 Brinkman worked in the Dutch police force of Amsterdam. As a police officer in the capital city he was among others involved in riot control.[1] Being number four on the list of PVV candidates he was chosen in the Dutch House of Representatives in November 2006. In June 2006 he was again elected, however this time as number eleven.
Brinkman is well known for criticising the lack of internal democracy within the PVV.[2]
Biweekly he writes a column for free newspaper Sp!ts called 'Haagse Herrie' ('fuss in The Hague'). The other week Harry van Bommel of the Socialist Party gives a critical respond. Other times the opposite happens: Van Bommel takes the lead and Brinkman replies.
