- We cover an area as large as Denmark.
The probability that a patrol out on the roads will fall on something is not so great.
Then we do better if we rest and are prepared to pull out when something happens, says Marcus Nilsson, local police area manager in southern Lapland.
The union is also positive
According to Sorsele residents who SVT spoke to, there have been more police officers visible during the day recently.
