The police have started special surveillance on Friday due to the weakened security situation, SVT reports, among other things.
During the summer, the Swedish police have changed their operating model in the direction of reacting more quickly due to the weakened security situation.
– Continuous special monitoring is underway, it is no longer a question of a specific threat that has come to our attention, says the spokesperson of the Swedish police Mark Vadasz.
In the background, among other things, Muslim countries were outraged by the desecration of the Koran.
According to spokesperson Vadasz, the police is cooperating with Noa’s national operational department.
– The way and working method could be compared to a hospital going on standby, the spokesman said.
A special event can mean “a sudden, unpredictable or unplanned event for which the police are not normally prepared”.
Preparing for an assassination attempt
Stockholm’s security situation is evaluated on a five-point scale. The current situation has been assessed at level three in severity.
– The threat is assessed as elevated, and according to the assessment of the increased threat, an assassination may also take place, said the head of the anti-terrorist unit of the security police Susanna Trehorning in the week ending.
For example, in the western operational area, the police are increasing their weapons and equipment due to the weakened security situation.
