About this role
The Swedish Prison and Probation Service is growing – we are building new facilities, renovating, and expanding, and we are now seeking more employees. Our most important goal is to reduce recidivism – to break the vicious cycle. If we succeed, society becomes safer and more secure for everyone. We are the authority responsible for prisons, probation services, remand centers, and client transportation.
The Swedish Prison and Probation Service is divided into six geographical regions and a head office with eight departments, a service center, and a national transport unit. The Security Department is responsible for all security operations within the organization. The focus is on ensuring that the agency's security work is conducted sustainably, contributing to a legally secure and effective correctional service. The department's vision is to be a leader in security work at an international level.
The Swedish Prison and Probation Service collaborates with several partners according to Government Decision JU2008/5776/PO, to ensure an effective and sustainable fight against organized crime.
The Intelligence Service is part of the agency's security organization and works to collect, compile, evaluate, and analyze information to support decision-makers, managers, and other clients within the Swedish Prison and Probation Service with decision-making support. The assignment includes environmental analysis, internal and external collaboration, and national and international cooperation on security issues.
