Are you ready for a bigger challenge? Are you a police officer looking to work in a dynamic environment?

We are currently seeking a duty officer for the Regional Command Center in Region North, located in Umeå. With us, you will develop and gain life experiences alongside dedicated and friendly colleagues, while your work contributes to increasing safety and reducing crime in Sweden.

The North Police Region is the largest region in terms of area. The region consists of the four northernmost counties in Sweden and is organized into four police areas: Jämtland, Norrbotten, Västerbotten, and Västernorrland, which are further divided into 12 local police areas. Additionally, there are three regional units: the operational unit, the intelligence unit, and the investigation unit, a regional office, and national departments that are represented in the region to support police operations.

The Regional Command Center in Region North is responsible for the police's intervention operations throughout the region and is a section within the operational unit. The workplace consists of RLC operators, RLC commanders, duty officers, and support services working side by side. At the Regional Command Center, information and events are managed, assessed, and prioritized through incoming phone calls and radio calls.

The operations at the Regional Command Center are characterized by a clear citizen perspective, where the center must maintain a very high availability for matters requiring immediate or urgent police interventions and a high availability for other matters.

Job Description

The duty officer is responsible for exercising leadership within the region based on an updated operational situation in close collaboration with the national command center. Leadership refers to proactively directing and reallocating resources within the region where they are most needed or expected to be needed during the ongoing or upcoming shifts.

Leadership should be exercised so that the region's collective external resources can be used as efficiently as possible, allowing functions to jointly maintain high availability and service for citizens. The purpose is to uphold public order and safety for the public.

Personal qualities

We are looking for someone who is communicative, enjoys building relationships, and collaborates externally as well as internally to achieve common goals.

Being a leader within the Police Authority means creating safety and building trust by exercising sincere, courageous, and attentive leadership with confidence in others' skills and abilities.
