Citizenship promises that are made should include those that citizens experience as problems. Laholm Municipality and the police have jointly agreed on activities to be done in 2020 to increase security and reduce crime.

It is the fifth national pledge in the order and according to the local police area manager in Halmstad and Laholm, Mikael Eliasson, it has produced results.

- We have been given increased security. Around 2010, we were on about 160 home burglaries a year. Throughout 2019 we had 29, he says.

Safe places

But there is still work to be done. A safety survey conducted in the fall of 2019 showed that residents in the municipality regard a number of places as unsafe.

These are mainly the areas around Altona, central Laholm, Campus Laholm, Glänninge area and Stadsparken. These areas are now prioritized in Laholm municipality and police cooperation in 2020.
