Measures such as abolishing the penalty reduction for young adults in serious crime, stricter penalties for those who recruit young people for crime, proposals from the so-called 34-point program: The government's measures against gang crime, were things discussed at today's municipal board meeting in Gothenburg.

- My most important task is first and foremost to expand the police.

We must have more police officers who are locally present and who increase security throughout the country, including Gothenburg.

We are only halfway on this expansion, where we will have ten thousand more police employees until 2024, says Minister of the Interior Mikael Damberg (S). 

- We would also like to see that the municipal activities could help to get more adults out of office hours, this is something I have presented to the municipal board today, says police chief Erik Nord. 

- It is unique that a Minister of the Interior participates, and shows the importance of this event, says Axel Josefson, chairman of the municipal board (M).

Our hope now is that this turns out in a good way.
