On Thursday, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) announced that the Armed Forces should support the Police Agency in its handling of the wave of violence.
He also wants to implement a change in the law that enables increased cooperation – a tactic that the police officer Rissa Seidou is doubtful about.
– The military cannot solve this problem, that is not what they are for, it is the police’s job to solve this, she says in After five.
– We want to give the Police Authority greater opportunities to ask for help where the Armed Forces have competence in situations that are not covered by today’s legislation. It is about gray zone situations where it is not obvious what threat Sweden is facing, he says and continues:
– This should have changed a long time ago.
That was the news that the Prime Minister presented on Thursday after meetings with Commander-in-Chief Micael Bydén and National Police Chief Anders Thornberg.
“It’s up to the police to solve this”
Rissa Seidou, Järva district police officer, does not believe that the military can solve the problem.
– The military cannot solve this problem, the military cannot do it and that is not what they are there for. We have an elevated terrorist threat level and it is good if the military can guard government buildings and so on, she says and continues:
– It is up to the police to solve this – together with society and social services.
Seidou believes that the whole society must mobilize to stop the violence – but even then she believes it will take several years.
– It can be solved, but it will look bleak for a certain number of years.
