Investigator for the Fraud Group at the Investigation Section

Are you ready for a bigger challenge? The Swedish Police Authority is Sweden's largest authority with approximately 40,000 employees across the country. With us, you have the opportunity to contribute to the Police's mission to increase safety and reduce crime in society.

We are now looking for three Investigators for the Fraud Group at the Investigation Section, located in Nyköping.

The Police Region East is organized into three police areas: Södermanland, Östergötland, and Jönköping, which are further divided into nine local police areas. Additionally, there are three regional units: operational unit, investigation unit, and intelligence unit, a regional office, and national departments represented in the region to support police operations.

The Investigation Section in the Södermanland police area is organized into serious crimes, surveillance operations, crimes in close relationships, fraud crimes, crime coordination, and investigation on call. The Investigation Section has a common mission for the police area and investigates crimes throughout the entire police area.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

As an investigator in the fraud department, you will work against today's most rapidly growing category of crime, ranging from less complicated cases to serious organized crime. You are a link in the entire criminal investigation process and collaborate with other functions within the police, such as analysts, financial investigators, and personnel working with information gathering. The work also involves many external contacts with prosecutors, legal representatives, banks, and companies.

The work as a fraud investigator involves both independently and in groups handling and investigating economic crimes. Crimes of this type are constantly changing and quickly altering their format. This makes the investigative role dynamic and exciting as we continuously learn new ways to achieve results through our own active work and training.

We investigate various types of property crimes such as fraud, embezzlement, betrayal of trust, money laundering, etc. Examples of tasks include conducting interviews with victims, witnesses, and suspects, as well as gathering, compiling, and analyzing large amounts of material and evidence. It is also the investigator's responsibility to present the investigation to a preliminary investigation leader from the police authority or the prosecutor's office and to compile the final preliminary investigation protocol. The position may also involve evening and weekend work and handling detained individuals.

Main Responsibilities:

• Interviews with victims, witnesses, and suspects
• Gather, compile, and analyze large amounts of material and evidence
• Present the investigation to the preliminary investigation leader
• Compile the final preliminary investigation protocol

QUALIFICATIONS

This is an opportunity for you who have:

• Police degree or other academic education in economics, law, criminology, behavioral science, or other relevant work experience of at least two years in recent times, as assessed by the employer.
• Good computer skills and experience, especially with the Office suite
• Experience in investigative work in recent times as assessed by the employer
• Good ability to express yourself verbally and in writing in Swedish
• Swedish driving license category B (manual transmission)

It is an advantage if you also have in recent times:

• Experience in handling cases or other relevant work experience from banks, insurance companies, auditing, or other public operations
• Work experience in interpreting and applying laws as assessed by the employer
• Work experience in investigating economic crimes

Personal Qualities

You take responsibility for your task and structure your approach independently, driving processes forward in collaboration with your immediate group leader and preliminary investigation leader. The work can be very intense at times, requiring you to be flexible, with the ability to quickly adapt to changing conditions and prioritize your tasks. You need to be able to take initiative and work both independently and in a team, which requires good collaboration skills. Since the work involves many contacts both internally and externally, you should have strong communication skills, both verbally and in writing. You have a strong commitment and engage in employee-driven improvement work.

We will place great emphasis on personal qualities.
