Police deployment

The plan explicitly requires a functioning and present justice system with more patrolling police, together with work on the deeper causes of crime. More community police and better opportunities to report crimes or get help on location in particularly disadvantaged areas is precisely what the plan seeks. The plan also emphasises that people in the poorest areas must not be left with the feeling that society has abandoned them.

• more patrolling policedecisive»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 with more patrolling police”
• society must not abandon disadvantaged areas»De av oss som bor i dessa områden är särskilt utsatta för våld och det finns en uppgivenhet över att samhället övergivit området.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Those of us who live in these areas are particularly exposed to violence and there is a sense of hopelessness that society has abandoned the area.”
• resources for police and social services»Goda resurser till polis,« (party programme ↗)“Good resources for police,”

The election manifesto explicitly promises to significantly increase the number of police on streets and squares and to secure and strengthen police presence throughout the country, with special emphasis on residential areas where gangs create insecurity. The counter-proposal's requirement for more community police and better possibilities to reach the police locally is precisely this. The plan therefore clearly speaks in favour of the requirement.

• strengthened police presence throughout the countrydecisive»Kraftigt öka antalet poliser på våra gator och torg. Vi vill säkra och stärka polisnärvaron i hela landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Significantly increase the number of police on our streets and squares. We want to secure and strengthen police presence throughout the country.”
• safety in vulnerable areas»Kriminella gäng sätter hela bostadsområden i skräck med skjutningar och narkotikaförsäljning på öppen gata.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Criminal gangs put entire residential areas in terror with shootings and open street drug sales.”
• mobilize society's full force»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 must be mobilized to push back the criminals, cut off return into crime and increase safety.”
• local authority cooperation»Det behövs mer samarbete mellan polis, elevhälsa, socialtjänst och skola.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“More cooperation is needed between police, student health services, social services and school.”

The plan wants to see more police to counter parallel societies and bases its preventive work on neighbourhood policing in close collaboration with schools and social services. It also requires that public services such as the police be available throughout the country. The counter-proposal's demand for more neighbourhood police and better opportunities to get help on the spot is thus directly in line with the plan.

• more police against parallel societiesdecisive»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 counter parallel societies.”

The manifesto explicitly demands more police present in everyday life, in both disadvantaged areas and in rural areas, and that closed police stations be reopened. This is the same thing as the counter-proposal's demand for more community police and better opportunities to get help on the spot. The party programme also wants to create more locally rooted police, and safe police presence is promised regardless of where one lives.

• more police in everyday lifedecisive»Fler poliser ska finnas närvarande i vardagen, både i utsatta områden och på landsbygden. Vi vill öka polistätheten till EU-snittet och öppna nedlagda polisstationer på nytt.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“More police shall be present in everyday life, in both disadvantaged areas and in rural areas.

The party programme establishes that the police authority should have strong local presence throughout the country and that visibility and proximity are crucial for preventing crime, which is exactly what the counter-proposal requires with more neighbourhood police and local presence in disadvantaged areas. The election manifesto aims for 33,000 police officers and that police should be able to maintain security always and everywhere. The goal that no disadvantaged areas should exist by 2030 reinforces the requirement.

Synlighet och närhet är avgörande för polisens långsiktiga förtroende och möjlighet att förhindra brott.« (party programme ↗)“The national police authority should have strong local presence throughout the country. Visibility and proximity are crucial for police's long-term trust and ability to prevent crime.”

The election manifesto explicitly requires more police with local presence across the country and more police in general, and the plan establishes that close and trusting contact between police and the public shall form the basis for good policing. The counter-proposal's requirement for more community police and better opportunities to report crimes or get help on site is precisely this commitment. The plan moreover emphasizes a locally anchored justice system.

• more police with local presencedecisive»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.”

The plan sets the goal of 10,000 more police officers by 2028 with stated focus on more police in frontline service and establishes that no one should have to wait hours for police to come. The counter-proposal's demands for more neighbourhood police, local presence in disadvantaged areas and better ability to get help on site are the same thing in substance. The plan's image of police coming when you call bears the entire position.

• more frontline policedecisive»Arbeta efter målet om 10 000 fler poliser till år 2028 med fokus på fler poliser i yttre tjänst« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Work towards the goal of 10,000 more police officers by 2028 with focus on more police in frontline service”

It also wants to increase security in all residential areas and that the police force is dedicated to being close to citizens. The counter-proposal's requirement for more area police and better opportunities to report crimes on the spot is precisely this.
