Carl Svane himself has people in his vicinity who have diagnoses that he believes could have been good police officers if they had had the chance.
- There are very competent people who have a diagnosis, and who would have suited perfectly as police officers, he says in SVT's interview that you see in the video.
DO has not started reviewing the report
The Discrimination Ombudsman has not yet initiated any supervision as a result of the report and is not commenting at present.
On the other hand, a similar review of the Armed Forces is underway, and they have a so-called "dormant supervision" of the Recruitment Authority, which is in charge of admissions to both the police and the defense.
Understand that the requirements can be perceived as discriminatory
The police authority refuses an interview with SVT Nyheter Halland, but writes in an email that they understand that the requirements, which students must meet in order to be admitted to police training, can be perceived as discriminatory, and that they are currently watching over the requirements.
They add that it is too early to say whether the review will lead to any change.
The review is planned to be completed in the spring.
The police magazine was the first to tell about this.
