Job description
As a criminal investigator at a local police area, you will handle criminal investigations under the guidance of preliminary investigation managers, both from the Prosecutor’s Office and the Police Authority. You hold interviews, gather information, compile material and carry out other relevant investigation measures.
The assignment as an investigator includes objectively evaluating information from several sources, extracting specific facts, drawing conclusions, assessing relationships and summarizing information into a logical whole. The tasks are varied and require that you can independently plan your work according to prevailing priorities and have the ability to take your own initiative and drive the preliminary investigation forward. The work means that you work with people who are deprived of their liberty and cases that have time requirements on them, which can mean a change of pace in the work. It is assumed that you have an interest in and keep up-to-date with current legislation and regulations. The work is characterized by many internal and external contacts such as e.g. criminal suspects, criminal suspects, lawyers, prosecutors, social services and school personnel, and makes demands on your communicative and social skills.
In addition to the investigator role, you are also the police area’s resource for carrying out external investigation measures, e.g. execute decisions on detention, pick-up for questioning, house searches, on-site questioning, door knocking, etc. These tasks are linked to your police powers. There may also be other general police duties depending on the needs of the business.
A major focus for Swedish police is to attack the criminal economy. The police are increasing their ability to identify and recover the proceeds of crime. In this way, we can attack the motive of making money, which is the basis of many crimes. In the work as an investigator, knowledge in economics and technology is a valuable asset.
The work means that you work with complex cases and investigative material that can be perceived as offensive or unpleasant.
We want to recruit you who have ambition and the conditions to become a sharp criminal investigator. You yourself are responsible for the interest, desire, commitment and the right personal qualities needed for this important position. We give you the training and experience you need to succeed in the assignment with us!
