Police. Police reports new dark numbers when it comes to completing criminal investigations.

Demands on the government

Mats Löfving, head of the police’s National operational department and rikspolischefens the nearest man, pointing at the three main reasons for the deterioration in the result. It is gängkriminaliteten with the many murders that takes major resources, as well as the large influx of refugees during the fall of 2015. The police reorganization is the third reason.
– It has been messy in the police by 2016, because it is during the year, we finally completed the police reorganization. The last region entered into his new organization for about a month ago, so now we’re finished, ” says Mats Löfving.
