Police mountain rescue

The plan does not address mountain rescue, but wants to see a robust society built to handle different kinds of crises and that public services work everywhere in the country. Strengthening conditions for volunteer mountain rescuers follows from that principle, since they carry a societally important rescue function in sparsely populated areas. The plan also links crime prevention and safety to good police resources.

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 does not address mountain rescue, but the election manifesto wants to upgrade civil defence and crisis preparedness and establishes that the state must be present throughout the country. The party programme lifts the common interest in the whole country being able to live. Based on these closest-lying principles, the plan speaks for the conditions of mountain rescuers to be strengthened, but the foundation is weak.

The plan requires that public services such as the police be available throughout the country and wants to increase appropriations for crisis preparedness. It also wants more people to be able to spend time in Swedish nature, which requires functioning rescue operations in the mountains. Mountain rescue is not explicitly addressed, so the conclusion is derived from the closest related principles.

• public services throughout the countrydecisive»Samhällsfunktioner som polis, arbetsförmedling och« (party programme ↗)“Public services such as the police, labour exchange and”
• strengthened crisis preparedness»satsa en större andel av försvarets pengar på det civila försvaret, och öka anslagen till krisberedskap.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“allocate a larger share of defence resources to civil defence, and increase appropriations for crisis preparedness.”
• outdoor recreation in nature»ge mer pengar till friluftsorganisationerna så att fler kan njuta av svensk natur.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“give more money to outdoor recreation organizations so that more people can enjoy Swedish nature.”

The plan's overriding requirement is that security and public services shall be close and reliable throughout the country, and no one shall feel unsafe because help is many miles away. Mountain rescue is exactly that function in the most sparsely populated parts of the country, for both residents and visitors. The manifesto further highlights the importance of tourism and the need for functioning conditions for it.

• security also far from urban areasdecisive»Ingen ska känna sig otrygg för att polisen är många mil bort; det är dags att öppna upp landsbygdens polisstationer på nytt.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“No one shall feel unsafe because the police are many miles away; it is time to reopen the countryside's police stations.”
• reliable services throughout the country»Offentlig service ska vara nära och pålitlig i hela landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Public services shall be close and reliable throughout the country.”
• tourism's conditions»Besöksnäringen har stor betydelse för hela landets utveckling, och för att den ska kunna fortsätta växa krävs också bättre kommunikationer och infrastruktur.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Tourism has major significance for the entire country's development, and for it to be able to continue to grow also requires better communications and infrastructure.”

The plan says nothing about mountain rescue. The nearest principle is that the police service shall have strong local presence throughout the country and that state services shall be secured everywhere, which suggests that the conditions for mountain rescuers should be strengthened. The plan also wants to increase space for voluntary initiatives, which is precisely the voluntary activity the counter-proposal wants to support.

• police presence throughout the countrydecisive»Den nationella polismyndigheten ska ha hög lokal närvaro i hela landet.« (party programme ↗)“The national police service shall have strong local presence throughout the country.”
• state services throughout the country»Tillgången till statlig service ska säkras i hela landet.« (party programme ↗)“Access to state services shall be secured throughout the country.”
• increased voluntary efforts»Utrymmet för ideella insatser i vård och omsorg, utbildning och kultur, bistånd och totalförsvar ska öka.« (party programme ↗)“Space for voluntary efforts in healthcare and care, education and culture, development aid and total defence shall increase.”

The plan requires that all people regardless of place of residence receive part of society's fundamental rights and that preparedness is sufficient to handle disasters and serious hardships. The election manifesto wants people to feel safe across the country with strengthened local presence of society's functions. Strengthening the conditions for voluntary mountain rescue follows from this and from the plan's appreciation of voluntary efforts.

• security regardless of place of residencedecisive»Alla människor ska oavsett bostadsort kunna få del av« (party programme ↗)“All people shall regardless of place of residence be able to receive part of”
• preparedness for disasters»delta i hanteringen av katastrofer och andra svåra påfrestningar i samhället« (party programme ↗)“participate in the handling of disasters and other serious hardships in society”
• local presence across the country»Fler poliser med lokal närvaro, utbyggd primärvård, enklare starta lokal läkarmottagning och inrätta fler statliga servicekontor.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“More police with local presence, expanded primary healthcare, easier to start local medical clinics and establish more state service offices.”
• value of voluntary efforts»Ett vitalt civilt samhälle är av största vikt för en levande demokrati« (party programme ↗)“A vital civil society is of the utmost importance for a living democracy”

The plan says nothing about mountain rescue. The closest principle is that security requires good emergency preparedness built on both state capacity and citizens' own responsibility – the volunteer mountain rescuers are precisely such a civic commitment. The plan moreover wishes to make mountains and outdoor life accessible to more people, which presupposes rescue capacity is there.

• strong emergency preparednessdecisive»Tryggheten i Sverige förutsätter också ett starkt civilförsvar« (party programme ↗)“Security in Sweden also requires strong civil preparedness”
• citizens' own responsibility»Detta bygger till del på statens förmåga men även på medborgarnas ansvarstagande« (party programme ↗)“This is built in part on state capacity but also on citizens' responsibility”
• accessible outdoor recreation»Göra naturupplevelser och friluftsliv i statliga naturreservat och nationalparker tillgängliga för fler genom satsningar på leder och friluftsanordningar« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Make outdoor experiences and outdoor recreation in state nature reserves and national parks accessible to more people through investments in trails and outdoor facilities”
• clarified police mandate»Renodla Polisens uppdrag med fokus på att upptäcka, utreda och klara upp brott« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Clarify the Police's mandate with focus on detecting, investigating and clearing up crime”

The plan wants support for civil organizations with societal missions to be strengthened and that everyone in need of police can quickly get help, regardless of where in the country they are located. The volunteer mountain rescuers carry out precisely such a societal effort in sparsely populated parts of the country. Strengthening their prerequisites therefore follows from the plan's line of conducting a policy for all of Sweden.

• support for voluntary societal effortsdecisive»stödet till civilorganisationer med samhällsuppdrag ska stärkas« (2022 manifesto ↗)“support for civil organizations with societal missions should be strengthened”
• police help throughout the country»Målet bör vara att alla som är i behov av polis snabbt ska kunna få polisens hjälp.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The goal should be that everyone in need of police can quickly get police help.”
• policy for the whole country»Bedriva en politik för hela Sverige« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Conduct a policy for all of Sweden”
• increased preparedness appropriations»Anslagen till de myndigheter som har övergripande ansvar för civilförsvar, krisledning och beredskap bör öka« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Appropriations for the authorities with overarching responsibility for civil defence, crisis management and preparedness should increase”
