Job description
Are you ready for a bigger task?
The police authority is Sweden’s largest authority with approximately 36,000 employees and is organized into seven police regions, a number of national departments and an office. The authority is in the midst of extensive growth that will continue for the next few years. This is to be able to meet the challenges of the future. Working for the police means creating security in people’s lives. Every day.
In 2024, the regional investigation unit has more than 1,000 employees and consists of fourteen sections and a unit office.

The regional investigation unit (RUE) investigates, among other things, crimes threatening democracy, environmental and work environment crimes, IT crimes, fraud as well as international serious organized crime and human trafficking. In addition, the region’s work with notification, regional case and crime coordination, action group activities as well as crime victim and personal safety work, regional intelligence activities, forensic activities, camera surveillance and technical intelligence can be found at the unit. The unit’s operations contribute to the police region’s overall crime-fighting capability.
