Sweden the Police need to be better at the local work and to clear up the crimes, considers the state Treasury in its investigation of the police reform. But any sharp deterioration is not visible, and the number of flaws existed prior to the reorganization.
On 1 January 2015 were 23 police forces merged into one. Now has the Treasury investigated the consequences.
the Police have had too much focus on the organization – you must now give priority to the business, considers the head of the unit for investigative support Johan Sørensson.
- The local policing needs to be strengthened. You need to work much more with the investigative activities and to ensure that you can be sustainable, ” he says to TT.
In plain language it means that the police need to be better to clear up all types of crimes.
No loss
However, it is not possible to blame the shortcomings on the reorganization. The trend was already there before, according to the investigator. It is not possible to see a so-called produktionstapp. Otherwise, it is very common in the case of reorganization, out Sørensson.
- We have not seen this dive. We can’t see that the police do not have sufficient resources to get on the alarm, or that they make fewer and fewer investigations, ” he says.
When the goal of getting “closer to its citizens” is to be achieved, resources to go to the local police work.
- You have had too high ambitions. You can not bet on all at the same time. Otherwise, not enough resources, it is so simple, ” says Sørensson.
Employee role should also be strengthened in the process of change, he points out.
- Communication has been too weak. Our explanation is that in the very high degree has been a lack of managers in the organization, they have not been added. There have not been channels to develop the business or to communicate what’s going on.
Ygeman: A way to go
Interior minister Anders Ygeman (S) are of the opinion that the state treasury’s report “is in line with the assessments we have made, and that the police have done,” he says to TT.
- There has been a gap in communication and so it took far too long to recruit these 2 900 heads, which has meant that employees have been left alone in the reorganization without the managerial support that they have earned. It is criticism which must be taken seriously, says Ygeman.
on the positive side: how the operational capacity improved by a system with a national management.
- But when it comes to some other areas, we have a good bit left. We must have a greater focus on local work and get more police officers where they are needed the most, in the vulnerable areas. And we need to be better at making the employees involved.
three weeks ago, named Dan Eliasson measures to be taken to meet several of the problems the state Treasury is now taking forward. 600 civilians will be recruited next year. Adjustments shall also be made in the reorganization.
Invest in the employees
A wager, shall also be made on the employees which, inter alia, to work for the long term get up wages and to create better development and career opportunities in the work.
the state treasury the government has acted to follow up on “the change had the intended effects in relation to the government’s purpose and objectives”. Basically, it is about goals in terms of improved results and a higher quality of police work.
Friday’s report is the first of three. The other will be about a year and the final report in the autumn of 2018.
