Tullkriminalen seeks employees for Customs' first NIGS unit (National Intervention Surveillance)

Do you have experience in operational crime prevention work and are motivated by assignments where no two days are alike?

Tullkriminalen is now establishing Customs' first NIGS unit and is looking for employees who want to help build a new national capability. We are looking for you who have experience in qualified operational work and who want to work in the borderland between investigation, surveillance, risk assessment, and operational interventions.

The role places high demands on judgment, integrity, and flexibility. At the same time, it offers the opportunity to work with complex crime prevention together with experienced and engaged colleagues, where collaboration, professionalism, and shared responsibility are crucial for success.

Some assignments cannot be described in detail. Not because they lack significance, but because they require discretion, precision, and a high level of security awareness.

The work involves switching between analytical investigative work and operational activities. Preparation, planning, and execution are often decisive factors for a successful result. The pace may vary, but the ability to make well-founded decisions even under pressure is a central part of the assignment.

As an employee in NIGS, you will become part of a team where different competencies complement each other and where we know that the best results are created together.

The position involves carrying and handling Customs' special equipment, including service pistol (Glock 19), OC spray, and baton.
