An IT forensic is today sought after by the Police. The agency is constantly working to try to recruit people, such as at the computer festival Dreamhack, and there is great competition for them in the market.

Today, more companies and authorities are struggling than ever before to find a person who possesses IT forensic expertise.

- We could increase our staffing by double and still be able to fill their everyday lives every day of the week, I can promise, says Joakim Jäderstig, head of the forensic section of the East region.

Must prioritize

The police mainly use IT forensic knowledge to prioritize serious crimes in the East region, but this can have consequences for some other crimes.

- We must prioritize crimes such as sexual offenses, crimes against children and data breaches against companies, this means that many crimes must be left behind and this happens daily, says Joakim Jäderstig.
