That authorities go out with an appeal to the public has happened before.
Recently, for example, the Swedish Agency for Community Protection and Preparedness, MSB, issued a call that Swedes should look for food in the forest in the event of a possible crisis.
In the autumn’s new crisis preparedness brochure, they inform about making use of food such as berries and mushrooms in nature – if the crisis or war comes.

1.5 million crimes were reported in 2023
Another important authority in Sweden is the police, whose most important task is to prevent and prevent crime. That work takes place by actively working in both external and internal service by investigating, receiving reports, holding interrogations and confiscating objects.
In short, the work of the police is to create security and order in society by fighting crime.
In 2023, just over 1.5 million crimes were reported to the police. There was then an increase of four percent, or the equivalent of 64,412 crimes compared to 2022, according to statistics from The Crime Prevention CouncilGOOD.

Unfortunately, it is not always possible to solve crimes. Against this background, the police have tried to enlist the help of the public on their website in an attempt to solve unsolved cases.
These are murder cases that have not been solved by the police over time, so-called “cold cases”.
“Police Region South has today published information on 5 new cold cases. Perhaps you have information that can further the police’s investigation,” they write.
A case becomes cold when the outcome resulted in deadly violence, i.e. murder or manslaughter, where the police for some reason failed to solve the case.
Previously, the statute of limitations for both murder and manslaughter was 25 years, but this was removed in 2010. This means that a murder or manslaughter investigation that occurred after July 1, 1985 is now never closed.

The police’s call: Then you should call 114 14
The police authority invites those who can contribute information to contact them on 114 14 or via web form.
In addition, the public is invited to visit the police station Cold Case Facebook Page. There, information about unsolved murders or homicides is shared in the hope that someone will come forward with new or improved information.
