About this role
Are you ready for a greater challenge?
The Swedish Police Authority is the largest authority in Sweden, 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 Serious Violent Crime Investigation Section is seeking an Investigation Leader who wants to be a central part of the Police Authority's work and development of investigative operations concerning serious and complex crime.
The Serious Violent Crime Investigation Section is organized under the regional investigation unit, which, together with police areas, is responsible for the region's investigative work. The investigation unit coordinates and drives operational development from a regional perspective in collaboration with the national operational department and other regions.
In addition to a comprehensive operational assignment, the section has a regional coordination responsibility and is to conduct method development aimed at strengthening the region's investigative process and capacity to investigate serious violent crimes, as well as investigations of complex crimes in criminal environments affecting individuals that impact the regional problem landscape. The section also plays a central role in the region's operations center and cyber sensor.
Currently, the section consists of seven groups distributed across various operational areas: investigation leaders, investigators, operational analysis, and a group for cold cases.
**JOB RESPONSIBILITIES**
The role of Investigation Leader in the section is broad and constantly evolving. The work includes everything from leading preliminary investigations in your own cases to leading investigations in large prosecutor-led inquiries or managing umbrella organizations that operate in several separate investigations with the problem in focus.
You will supervise investigators in their daily work and ensure that preliminary investigations are conducted efficiently and with high quality. You are responsible for creating a favorable working climate in the investigative groups and driving investigations forward in close collaboration with the Prosecutor's Office. You evaluate evidence and prioritize investigative actions in complicated and larger investigations and are part of identifying and managing preliminary investigations that have been prioritized based on the problem in focus and the current situation.

Our main task there is to enrich the operations center with qualified preliminary investigation knowledge in the uninterrupted reaction chain, as well as to address the national and regional problem landscape and support and direct operations in the region.
Work in the section is primarily conducted during daytime hours, but evening and weekend work is included periodically when the operations require it. The section's investigation leaders also have day and evening shifts scheduled at the RDC according to a 12-week roster. Our section is responsible for the region's preparedness organization, and the role includes serving as an investigation leader on standby. Currently, standby duties are scheduled together with the day and evening shifts at the RDC (12-week roster).
