Police's internal organization

The plan requires a functioning and present justice system where those who commit crimes are actually convicted, and points to the need for more police officers and increased knowledge in the justice system. More investigators with expertise in serious violent crimes and shorter processing times in forensics is a specification of the same requirement for investigation capacity. However, the plan does not comment on the forensic centre, which is why the conclusion is derived.

• functioning justice systemdecisive»Kriminaliteten behöver mötas både med ett fungerande och närvarande rättssystem som fler patrullerande poliser« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Crime needs to be met both with a functioning and present justice system as more patrol police officers”
• crimes should be solved»Det är viktigt att rättssystemet fungerar, att kvinnors erfarenheter tas på allvar och att de som begår brott döms.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It is important that the justice system works, that women's experiences are taken seriously and that those who commit crimes are convicted.”
• more police and increased expertise»För det behövs det fler poliser, ökad kunskap inom rättsväsendet om samtycke och om våld mot kvinnor och barn, och straff som gör att brotten prioriteras av rättsvårdande instanser.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“For that, more police officers are needed, increased knowledge within the justice system about consent and about violence against women and children, and punishments that make the crimes prioritised by law enforcement agencies.”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The plan wants to significantly increase police resources and mobilize society's full force against criminals, with stated focus on serious gang violence. More investigators with expertise in serious violent crimes and shorter processing times in forensics are a direct prerequisite for that clarification to work. However, the plan does not address the internal work of the forensic center itself.

• significantly strengthened policedecisive»Kraftigt öka antalet poliser på våra gator och torg.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Significantly increase the number of police on our streets and squares.”
• mobilize against serious crime»Samhällets fulla kraft ska mobiliseras för att trycka tillbaka de kriminella, kapa återväxten in i kriminaliteten och öka tryggheten.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Society's full force shall be mobilized to push back criminals, cut off recruitment into crime and increase security.”
• uncompromising crime-fighting»Kampen mot kriminaliteten ska vara kompromisslös.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The fight against crime shall be uncompromising.”

The election manifesto wants to see more and better-paid police to combat organized crime, and the party programme that law enforcement agencies are given the tools required, with the crime victim at the centre. More investigators of serious violence and shorter forensic handling times follow from that commitment. The plan thus supports the counter-proposal's demands, although it does not express itself on the police's internal organization.

• more police against serious crimedecisive»se fler och bättre betalda poliser för att bekämpa den organiserade brottsligheten och för att motverka parallellsamhällen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“see more and better-paid police to combat organized crime and to counteract parallel societies.”
• tools for the judicial system»rättsvårdande myndigheterna ska ges de verktyg« (party programme ↗)“law enforcement agencies must be given the tools”
• the crime victim at the centre»brottsoffret och dennes utsatthet i centrum.« (party programme ↗)“the crime victim and their vulnerability at the centre.”
• deadly violence must be stopped»Det dödliga våldet har blivit en del av många människors vardag.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Deadly violence has become part of many people's daily life.”

The plan requires more resources to police, prosecutors and courts and that more crimes are solved, as well as that processing times at authorities are shortened. More investigators with expertise in serious violent crime and a review of processing times at the forensic centre are measures that directly serve these commitments. The plan does not specifically mention forensic operations, hence the position is derived.

• more resources to the justice chaindecisive»För att besegra dem krävs bättre insatser som förebygger nyrekrytering, mer resurser till polis, åklagare, domstolar och kriminalvården och strängare straff.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“To defeat them requires better measures to prevent recruitment, more resources to police, prosecutors, courts and prisons and stronger penalties.”
• higher clearance rate»Tryggheten ska förbättras i hela landet och fler brott som drabbar folk i deras vardag ska klaras upp.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Security shall be improved throughout the country and more crimes that affect people in their daily lives shall be solved.”
• shortened processing times»Ledtiderna för handläggning och myndighetsutövning i domstolar och myndigheter måste kortas och tillgången till ombud förbättras.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Processing times and administrative action in courts and authorities must be shortened and access to legal representation improved.”

The party programme demands that the justice system's capacity is improved so that processing times are shortened and more crimes are cleared up. The election manifesto states that fewer and fewer shootings are cleared up and wants to strengthen the entire justice chain with more police, prosecutors and judges. The counter-proposal's demands for more investigators of serious violent crime and an overview of forensic processing times are the same thing in fact.

• shorter processing timesdecisive»handläggningstiderna kortas, fler brott anmäls och klaras upp samt färre brottsanmälningar« (party programme ↗)“processing times are shortened, more crimes are reported and cleared up as well as fewer crime reports”
• raised clearance of serious violence»Samtidigt som allt fler kriminella avlossar allt fler skott, klaras allt färre skjutningar upp.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“At the same time as more and more criminals fire ever more shots, fewer and fewer shootings are cleared up.”
• resources to the entire justice chain»Samtidigt behöver vi fler domare och fler åklagare, och fler häkten och fängelser med fler kriminalvårdare.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“At the same time we need more judges and more prosecutors, and more prisons and prisons with more prison wardens.”
• more police»Därför vill vi på sikt nå 33 000 poliser så att polistätheten blir minst lika hög som i övriga Europa.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Therefore we want over time to reach 33,000 police so that police density becomes at least as high as in the rest of Europe.”

The stance rests on the quoted commitment in the party's own documents; the actual vote deviated. Click the quote to verify it in the document.

The election manifesto requires that the entire justice system be expanded and that the police's mandate be refined to crime prevention, with more police officers and better conditions. More investigators of serious violent crimes and shorter processing times in forensic operations are precisely the capacity increase the plan calls for. The party programme further requires that all crimes be effectively addressed.

• expanded investigation capacitydecisive»Hela rättsväsendet behöver byggas ut. Fler poliser kräver fler åklagare, domstolar på fler platser i landet och en kraftigt utbyggd kriminalvård.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The entire justice system needs to be expanded. More police officers require more prosecutors, courts in more places in the country and significantly expanded criminal care.”
• focus on crime prevention»Renodla polisens uppdrag. Polisen fokuserar idag alldeles för mycket på annat än brottsbekämpning.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Refine the police's mandate. Police today focus far too much on things other than crime prevention.”
• more and more qualified personnel»Fler poliser och höjda polislöner. Polisyrket behöver bli mer attraktivt för att behålla poliser och attrahera nya.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“More police officers and raised police salaries. The police profession needs to become more attractive to retain officers and attract new ones.”
• effective investigation»Alla brott ska effektivt och utan undantag beivras« (party programme ↗)“All crimes shall be effectively and without exception addressed”

The plan establishes that the justice system is underdimensioned, that gang murders are cleared up to a very low degree and that crimes require increasingly complex investigations. It therefore promises to streamline the police's mandate towards investigating and clearing up crimes and to expand the prosecution service. The counter-proposal's demand for more investigators of serious violent crimes and shorter processing times in forensics is the same thing in practice. The plan supports the demand.

• underdimensioned justice systemdecisive»Svenskt rättsväsende är uppenbart underdimensionerat i förhållande till den kriminalitet som samhället drabbas av idag.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Swedish justice system is obviously underdimensioned in relation to the criminality society suffers from today.”
• more crimes cleared up»Renodla Polisens uppdrag med fokus på att upptäcka, utreda och klara upp brott« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Streamline the Police's mandate with a focus on detecting, investigating and clearing up crimes”
• resources for complex investigations»Många brott kräver alltmer komplicerade och tidskrävande utredningar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Many crimes require increasingly complex and time-consuming investigations.”
• expanded justice chain»Satsa på fler åklagare så att fler brott kan leda till fällande dom« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Invest in more prosecutors so that more crimes can lead to convictions”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The plan requires a significantly strengthened justice system and that all crimes should be investigated, with particular focus on serious violence in criminal environments. The counter-proposal's requirement for more investigators with expertise in serious violence crimes and a review of processing times in forensic work is a direct application of this commitment. The plan does not mention the forensic centre, so coverage is derived.

• strengthened justice systemdecisive»Säkerställa satsningar för ett kraftigt upprustat rättsväsende« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Ensure investments in a significantly strengthened justice system”
• all crimes should be investigated»Utgångspunkten bör vara att alla brott, även sådana som inte skapar rubriker, ska utredas och att polisen ska finnas nära i hela Sverige.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The starting point should be that all crimes, even those that do not make headlines, should be investigated and that the police should be present throughout Sweden.”
• better prosecution tools»Rättsväsendets samverkan mellan myndigheter och verktyg för att upptäcka och lagföra kriminella ska förbättras.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The co-operation of the justice system between authorities and tools to detect and prosecute criminals should be improved.”
• resources against gang violence»Ge rättsväsendet resurser och verktyg för att bekämpa gängen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Give the justice system resources and tools to combat gangs”
