– What is happening is very sad, sad in many ways, says Uppsala municipality’s head of security Anders Fridborg about the recent weeks’ shootings and explosions.
A few years ago, Uppsala was hit by many conflicts that resulted in, among other things, shootings. But recent years have been calmer, and the municipality has seen a reduction in the number of acts of violence. That was until recently.
“Unfortunately seeing an increase”
– Unfortunately, we are seeing an increase right now, a step back in development, says Anders Fridborg.
The security manager and the municipality work above all from a prevention and presence perspective. According to Anders Fridborg, this means that you want to create security by being on site and having operations on site. The municipality also works closely with other actors such as the police and social services.
