Two more police officers will be included in the group working at Kronogården. Today, they are eight police officers. The recruitment of two new police officers will start at the turn of the year.

- We hope we can add them as soon as possible. But it is difficult of course, there are few police officers in the whole country and we need to compete with everyone, says Lars Eckerdal.

In addition to the strengthening at Kronogården, 12 services are added to the intervention operations in Östra and Västra Fyrbodal. And 11 more employees in crime in close relationships.

- We will increase our core business. This is part of the step in the search for resources by Swedish police, which is decided at the political level, says Lars Eckerdal.

Priority area

The police area commander says that the reinforcement at Kronogården is part of the increased resources for the police in 2020. He says it has nothing to do with the fact that guards and security guards have now stopped patrolling at Kronogården.

- It lies in that plan, that we have seen that we need to strengthen our police presence in the area. It is not due to the unrest that has now been, but we have long had Kronogården as a priority area, he says.
