About this role
Are You Ready for a Major Challenge?
The Police Authority is Sweden's largest authority with approximately 40,000 employees, organized into seven police regions, several national departments, and an administrative office. The authority is experiencing extensive growth that will continue in the coming years to meet future challenges. Working for the police is about creating safety in people's lives. Every day.
The Regional Investigation Unit (RUE) is responsible, together with police districts, for the region's investigation activities. The investigation unit coordinates and drives business development from a regional perspective in collaboration with the National Operational Department and other regions.
The Coordination Section currently consists of five groups with different capabilities, related to regional crime coordination, regional case management, and preparation. The section has been created as part of the police region's move towards a more offensive and preventive approach to crime-fighting.
We are now seeking a manager for the group handling investigation preparation. The investigation preparation conducts investigative measures at an early stage of the investigation to make decisions or distribute the case to the appropriate organizational unit for further investigation. The group's mission is under development, so this is an opportunity for you who want to be part of building the operation. You will participate in creating a modern and efficient investigation flow in close collaboration with case and crime coordination and other units in the region.
We work according to the developmental leadership, which means you should act as a role model, show care, and have the ability to motivate employees.
