“Sweden’s security is your responsibility now, Damberg”
“Debater: It required more bets on the police.”
“This is an opinion piece. It is the writer who stands for the views that are put forward in the text, not Against.”
“Welcome Mikael Damberg minister of the interior in the new government. You now have the responsibility for some of the most important issues for the whole of Sweden’s security. “
“for several years there have been major defections from the Police. More and more experienced colleagues choose to leave their dream job. They are passionate about the data, but the low wages and the increasingly tough conditions, many hesitate about a future in the police professions. “
“at the same time serious crime with an increased number of firings, a growing number of areas that are perceived as particularly vulnerable and a height threat level for terror made it clear that we need more police officers if we must safeguard the security of society. There are also legitimate requirements to improve Police performance. “
“to meet the expectations of both citizens and political parties has required increased resources to the Police. According to a survey by Sifo in August last year, nine out of ten swedes on the priority. On your table is also the appeal ”Prio1 #flerpoliser” with over 35 000 signatures from police officers and engaged members of society that the police federation handed over to the government just before the election in the fall. “
“In januariöverenskommelsen have the new mittenkoalitionen in paragraph 69, agreed to meet the goal of 10 000 more police services to 2024. In addition, promise you that the attractiveness of the police professions will be enhanced by better terms and conditions. “
“It is good. Let these promises be just ”prio” for you and the government.”
“in Order to retain competence within the Police and attract more to the profession must polislönerna be increased and the working conditions become better. A first step was taken last year. Then was given an economic space to begin raising police salaries any more than for the rest of the labour market. “
“But that step alone is not enough. It must be followed by more bets, for a long time. “
“another task that is on your table, but that we are lacking in the agreement, is to ensure that those who are trained to become future police officers to be equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to live up to the profession, the citizens and the expectations of society. “
“Several investigations have in recent years come to the conclusion that it required an extended and improved police training in order to comply with society and crime development. “
“We would like to believe that this important requirement from the police federation will be implemented by the new government, although it is not mentioned in the januariöverenskommelsen.”
” Sweden also needs to regain the initiative where brottbekämpningsförmågan is a step ahead of brottsutvecklingen. “
“the police federation therefore proposes that this will be your ”bucketlist”:”
“investing in the police is to invest in human security and the defense of our democracy. It is something that the whole of Sweden serves in.”
