Are you ready for a bigger task?

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.

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

The Jönköping police area is divided into three local police areas: Södra Vätterbygden, Värnamo, and Höglandet, an investigation section, and an office. The investigation section consists of twelve groups handling crimes in close relationships, serious crimes, emergency investigations, fraud, surveillance, and crime coordination.

Description of your future workplace

In the Investigation Section of PO Jönköping, there are two fraud groups. The groups investigate fraud and other economic crimes. Within the groups, there are group leaders, preliminary investigation leaders, police and civilian investigators, as well as financial investigators.

The fraud groups apply a staff-driven working method where new methods and directions are continuously tested. Currently, there are three financial investigators in the group. They work as a team and have significant influence over case distribution within the team.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

A financial investigation aims to find evidence, map individuals and networks, investigate motives, and secure assets for future confiscation or compensation. As a financial investigator, you are expected to independently and collaboratively conduct financial investigations within preliminary investigations and in cases of surveillance nature. A large part of the work consists of gathering, processing, analyzing, and compiling information from banks and other financial institutions. You should be able to present your analysis to the preliminary investigation leader and provide recommendations for decisions and/or further actions. As a specialist in financial investigation, you are expected to develop the skills of your colleagues and take on the role of an expert in criminal economics and financial investigation within the police area.

With us, you will have a breadth of tasks, and there is an opportunity to manage and handle your own cases related to criminal economics.
