Since the 2015 has the police authority’s Special investigations begun to build up their own intelligence. Today, it consists of a dozen people; some are experienced commissioners, the other is the analyst. Their task is to actively gather and analyze information about suspected criminal activity that have not been reported. At the same time monitoring how police it systems are used has been refined to make it easier to discover, for example, hacking and other unauthorized activities.
, believes the head of the SU, Ebba Sverne Arvill. In the years expanded its operations with a private investigation and ingripandeenhet consisting of at least five people.
” Our cases are often of a sensitive nature with complex jävs, privacy, and security situations. Only a limited number of people is suited for reconnaissance and intervention in the cases, ” says Ebba Sverne Arvill and stresses the importance of SU can independently coordinate the investigations.
As it looks in the day is enough according to her, not the SU’s resources in those cases where it becomes necessary arrests at the workplace, in the home or in the fritidsbostaden. The police department is certainly obliged to provide help when it comes to this type of interference, but there are, according to Ebba Sverne Arvill, reason to SU want to do it on your own.
” We want to keep these cases as tight as possible. For that we should be able to act independently, it is important that as few external people as possible involved, ” she says.
the intelligence unit, in addition to 5.700 notifications, check 300 tips of underrättelsekaraktär followed up. 10% of the tips resulted in a notification drawn up – the rest were laid down, usually on the grounds that the SU made the assessment that it was not possible to get on with the tips.
Many of the cases dealt with, according to SU, if the individuals ‘ risk-taking behavior. There was also the tip where it was estimated that it was about the pure blackening of the employees. Whether you investigated a few cases with ”complicated jävs – privacy and säkerhetsnatur” has the DN is not able to ascertain.
One of the cases which, according to the SU submitted as a notification relating to a passkontrollant at stockholm Arlanda airport, which received a ne in respect of the data breach. The case was described in an internal message with the police as a ”massive theft of information from the police computer system, the information is likely to have ended up in the hands of criminals”.
a suspended sentence for hacking, but Anders Jakobsson, prosecutor at the Special prosecution office, which is attached to the SU, did not think it went to prove that he committed a breach of confidentiality.
the Case brings to the fore the need for new legislation. The limitation period for breach of confidentiality is, in short, the sanctions in relation low. Can information sold to criminals, it should be regarded as a rough tystnadspliktsbrott, a classification that does not exist today, ” says Ebba Sverne Arvill and adds to the ever-present data that classified information is available to buy on the Darknet, the part of the internet, where users are anonymous.
another case which, according to the SU came up as a notification regarding a police officer in northern sweden who was sentenced to two years and six months in prison for drug possession, vapenbrott and aggravated theft. HD rejected the application of the insurrection in 2018, but the investigation began a couple of years earlier.
a suspected bribery, which led to an investigation was the procurement of passports DN revealed in August 2017. Where the established SU a custom notification in connection with the DN’s review. The investigation was dropped in August 2018.
the Aim of investing more in intelligence efforts is, inter alia, to ensure that the criminal offences which have not been notified yet investigated. It is also considered important for crime prevention reasons.
” We have a stated goal to increase the proportion of egeninitierade cases by raising the quality of intelligence work. Of the ones we’ve seen so far, we know that it often involves resource-intensive cases, which are not rarely related to the economic and financial crime. When our target group is suspected of the crimes, we must, for credibility’s sake, turn on all the rocks, continues Ebba Sverne Arvill.
a budgetförstärkning with 9.4 million, from 47 million to the key 57 million – to cover the costs for the extended investigation and ingripandeverksamheten. But it also takes more resources to the number of police services will be more.
the nordic country where the police have chosen to connect their own intelligence with the intelligence and ingripandeverksamhet to internutredningen. SU examined in turn by the attorney general, and JO. The latter has received ten notifications then in 2015, none of them lede to any criticism.
Henry Thelander, has among other things polisområdeschef in Uppsala county and head of the intelligence central Region, has been appointed head of the intelligence and ingripandeverksamheten at SU.
