After two young people were shot to death in Sörmland, one in Eskilstuna and another in Nyköping, a special event began in Friday night in Sörmland.

According to Angevik, there are several investigative measures that the police must take after a serious crime has taken place.

This may involve securing evidence and conducting a technical investigation.

This must be done during a so-called critical time - the time just after the crime has occurred.

- A lot must be done in a short time.

To keep up, we may need to move resources and skills within and between the police regions.

By starting a special event, we can make it much easier, he says.

"Not common, but not unusual"

In the Police Region East, the police initiate special events a few times a year.

During the corona pandemic, there has been a long special event.

- It is not common, but also not uncommon for us to initiate special events.

A number of times a year, approximately.

The last time we had one in the region was in Östergötland due to the burning of the Koran, says Thomas Angevik.
