Per-Olof Forsell started working in the municipality in 1988 and retired at the beginning of this year. Henrik Billstam has been a member of the Södertalje Police since 1976. The medal is far from the only thing that unites Henrik Billstam and Per-Olof Forsell.

- We have a long history together. We grew up in the same residential area and attended the same class since grade one, says Henrik Billstam.

Significant efforts

Södertälje Municipality's motivation for the prize is that the two police officers have made “significant efforts, not only during the past year but for several decades” and that “they have done so in a way that serves as an example to many. They have been quiet, safe and methodical in the center of Södertälje. Their way of working - friendly and pleasant but with firm hand and clear boundaries - has aroused respect everywhere in society. The police officers Henrik Billstam and Per-Olof Forsell have in their deed played a very important role for the Södertalje booths ”.

Pre-recorded award ceremony

The awards ceremony is part of the pre-recorded National Day celebration program, which will be available to everyone on June 6.
