The ambulance and the emergency services are on site to help a person injured by a knife. The police arrest a suspected perpetrator. This is the scenario at the final exercise for the students who completed a 14-week training in MBU, the man behind the uniform.
Getting to meet people who work in uniform and get to try how they work has been an eye-opener, says Frida Widén Liljekvist.
– There were a lot of prejudices. You could never have believed that it was this physical.
– If we can reach out to the young people, the information will spread to the whole community and provide better conditions when we go out on an alarm, says Fredrik Eriksson at the rescue service.
“Thought they were racist”
Majd Idrees, 17 years old, has changed his opinion about the police after the training.
– They stopped us and asked for social security numbers and everything like that. I thought they were racist. But when I was with them, I noticed that it was completely different from what I thought, says Majd Idrees.
