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.

Finance Department

The Finance Department of the Swedish Police Authority is tasked with designing and driving the agency's strategic governance and follow-up, which determines what the agency should achieve in terms of results and effects. The department allocates financial resources to ensure that the operations can reach the decided direction and follows up to ensure that the funds are used efficiently and sustainably.

We also ensure a number of other conditions for the police to achieve their goals, for example, by meeting the operational needs for suitable premises as well as materials and equipment. We provide appropriate services in the areas of cleaning, vehicle service, and operation of police training at educational institutions to contribute to a good working environment. We also coordinate the Police Authority's sustainability work and are responsible for the agency's national vehicle supply and internal traffic safety work. Read more about the Finance Department.
