Are you ready for a bigger challenge?

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.

The Södermanland Police Area is divided into three local police areas: Eskilstuna, Nyköping, and Katrineholm. At the police area level, there is an investigation section and an office. The investigation section consists of 11 groups that handle crimes in close relationships, serious crimes, emergency investigations, fraud, surveillance, and crime coordination.

The Södermanland Police Area is in the midst of an exciting development effort to strengthen our crime fighting. By increasing our clearance rates and the presence of uniformed police in external service, we create a safer everyday life for citizens. Our goal is to integrate the entire investigative mission that the Police has by ensuring that the unbroken chain of response remains unbroken. With us, you have the opportunity to work both preventively and operationally, where intervention activities and investigative work go hand in hand.

We are now looking for two group leaders in the Södermanland Police Area who will directly lead their own serious crime group. The group consists of investigators, investigation leaders, and preliminary investigation leaders.

Do you want to join us on this journey? A warm welcome to PO Södermanland, where we believe that collaboration and engagement lead to success!
