Police’s beats are stopped urgently – can break against the law
Following DN’s notable review, the « police leaks » went out, Petra Lundh went out and said that the controls of police students, civil servants and police must increase.
For example, had DN revealed That it called for the criminal Ismail « Strawberry » Abdo’s girlfriend attended the police college and was close to graduating when their relationship was discovered.
– We want to be able to search other registers when we employ people, such as our case management system where there is a lot of information, said Petra Lundhwhich meant that the law prevents the police from doing more extensive background checks.
But now stopped Instead, the police beats immediately. DN has taken part in an internal e -mail sent from the police security department on Tuesday with the headline: « No beats, all the beats are stopped ».
The reason is that the Police Authority has discovered that the blows that the authority’s own security department does to control the staff can violate the law. « There is great uncertainty regarding the blows that may be made regarding personnel safety, » the e -mail states.
Everyone who goes Police training or must be employed at the Police Authority is placed in a security class and must be tested for safety. It is a check to investigate whether a person is reliable and loyal to the police operations. The control consists of two parts: a basic investigation with an interview that the employer does, and beats in different registers as the security police do.
But the e -mail that has now been sent out shows that the Police Authority has also made its own cuts on staff.
DN has spoken to several reporting agents confirming that beats are being made in the police’s internal register when someone new is on the way.
– We have long worked in a gray zone, says one of them.
Now, an investigation will clarify what beings the police may and not be allowed to do. The investigation will be done by the police authority’s legal department and has a « highest priority » it says in the email: « The work will be done promptly ».
DN has sought the Police Authority and received a written response through the press service.
It is confirmed that all searches in connection with personnel safety tests are stopped. The press service also writes that the authority’s security department has been reported to the police:
« A police report has been drawn up as to whether the security department may have made illegal blows in police IT systems. »
A preliminary investigation is ongoing at the police department for special investigations.
The Police Authority Have pressure to grow rapidly. DN has previously reported on how it has led to deficiencies in the security tests. The police security department can Do not interview Everyone who is to be hired and therefore other people – who only have one day’s education – may implement them.
– Managers and employees feel uncertain about how to do and what you can ask in the security test, said Ari stenman to DN.
He was the police security manager until November last year, when he unexpectedly quit and went to a job within the Stockholm Region.
The stop of beats will not affect the Police Authority’s ability to employ new staff or the admission to police training, the press service writes to DN.
