Facing mounting pressure in the aftermath of the 2011 Norway attacks over the state of the police and security , the incumbent Justice Minister , Knut Storberget , announced his resignation . He declared that six years as Justice Minister was sufficient and that he wished to focus his attention on remaining in parliament and his family . Faremo took over the Ministry on 11 November 2011 , tasked with strengthening the Norwegian emergency system . This involved the establishment of a new structure , new communication systems , and clear chains of command for crisis management and communications . A thorough analysis of the police , commissioned by Faremo , formed the basis for reforms in the Norwegian police structure
