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 South is organized into five police areas: Blekinge, northeastern Skåne, Kalmar, Kronoberg, Malmö, northwestern Skåne, and southern Skåne, which are together divided into 20 local police areas. Furthermore, there are four regional units: the operational unit, the intelligence unit, the investigation unit, and border police, a regional office, as well as national departments represented in the region to support police operations.

Police Area Southern Skåne is one of the police areas in Region South. The geographical area covers 16 municipalities. Police Area Southern Skåne is divided into five local police areas: Eslöv, Kävlinge, Lund, Trelleborg, and Ystad. Within the police area, there is also an investigation section, an investigation jour section, and a local office.

The investigation jour section is organized at the police area level under the investigation section. The function is responsible for leading preliminary investigations and initial investigative measures for the entire police area around the clock. The mission of the investigation jour section is to meet and manage the police area's influx of crime reports in a timely manner, both in prioritized cases involving, for example, detained persons and in volume crimes.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Within the framework of the police's investigative work, seized property is often handled. Being a seizure officer means that you have an overarching responsibility that includes both administration and physical work. Job responsibilities include searches in several IT systems, property release, handling incoming seizures and storage, as well as documentation of the actions taken in connection with this. Furthermore, you should be able to interpret legal texts and directives regarding seizures to be able to implement decisions and have contacts with investigators, preliminary investigation leaders, prosecutors, courts, and the public. You will work in a team of seizure officers under the leadership of a group manager and a preliminary investigation leader.

The seizures in our police area are located in two places, Lund and Ystad, and we work across borders. As an employee, you are expected to feel equally responsible and be able to work at both locations. We work together with other operations to create conditions for an effective investigative organization.

The work may involve heavy lifting and handling of hazardous goods, such as gasoline and gases.

QUALIFICATIONS

This is an opportunity for you who have:

• completed and approved upper secondary education
• at least two years of work experience that the employer assesses as relevant for the position
• driver's license B for manual transmission
• good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written
• good knowledge of the Microsoft Office package, especially Excel and PowerPoint
• good physical health, as the work periodically involves heavy lifting.

It is meritorious if you also have:

• experience in seizure work or work within the Police Authority or another relevant authority
• experience and good ability to interpret legal texts
• experience of investigative work within public operations
• forklift license

Personal qualities

We are looking for someone with good communication skills, both spoken and written. You have the ability to prioritize between your tasks and can quickly switch between tasks and pace. The role places high demands on very good collaboration skills, while it is also expected that you have the ability to work independently. Great emphasis is placed on accuracy and a responsible approach to work. Service in the seizure requires, in addition, courage and a curious and professional approach to the task.

The Police Authority works with ongoing business development, which is why it is important that you as an applicant are initiative-taking, communicative, flexible, and open to taking in new training or routines, in line with improving and developing operations. You will receive relevant training for the assignment.

We will place great emphasis on personal qualities.
