The police's fixed surveillance cameras are delayed.
Now the ball is in the government's court because the police need more money to build up the technology around the cameras, for example space to store the footage and to transfer the images from cameras to a surveillance center.
And in the meantime, many municipalities want to set up their own cameras.
But far from all municipalities are allowed to set up cameras.
It shows the information that SVT News has received from the Privacy Protection Authority.
Only 8 out of 20 received permission
Only 8 of the 20 municipalities that applied for camera surveillance in a public place, such as squares or streets, during 2018-2020 received full or partial green light.
New investigation: Increased responsibility for municipalities
But this week, a new inquiry is presented which is expected to propose that the municipalities' responsibility for crime prevention work should increase - and that the municipalities should receive legal support to do so.
This can lead to it being much easier for the municipalities to set up surveillance cameras - in collaboration with the police.
In the video, Anders Hall, head of development at the Police, explains how it will be easier.
