Preliminary Investigation Leader at the Police Authority

Are you ready for a bigger task? The Police Authority is Sweden's largest authority with approximately 40,700 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.

The Stockholm South Police Area is Sweden's largest police area. Nearly 1 million residents live and work here. The Stockholm South Police Area is divided into eight local police areas, of which the Södertälje local police area is part of the Stockholm South Police Area. Within the local police area, there are intervention and crime prevention activities, investigation groups, as well as support and service. The Södertälje local police area includes several areas classified as vulnerable and particularly vulnerable, with complex problem profiles related to organized crime and criminal networks.

To break the negative trend of organized crime and vulnerable areas in Södertälje, the Stockholm South Police Area has decided on various initiatives and ambition increases. In 2020, the police area's joint initiative TORE III was launched, aimed at enhancing police capability in Södertälje and significantly reducing the criminals' impact on the local community. In March 2023, the next step was taken against organized crime in Södertälje when the Operational Council decided on the Ragnhild initiative, a joint effort against criminal economy.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

The position of Preliminary Investigation Leader means that you will be the sole decision-maker in several of the local police area's preliminary investigations and act as a team leader for a group of investigators.

Personal Attributes

We are looking for someone who works in a structured way with their tasks and can inspire others to do their best. As the local police area's investigative work is undergoing a change process, it is important that you have the ability to lead others and see opportunities in changes.

We also see that you demonstrate good judgment in decision-making and actions and have a good ability to communicate messages to others both verbally and in writing.
