At present, it is only in November that there are free times to apply for a passport in the whole of Jönköping County.
For many, it is far too late as the summer holidays have long since passed.
National Police Chief Anders Thornberg is self-critical that it has become like this.
- It's serious.
It is the police's task to deliver passports when Swedish citizens need them.
During the pandemic, passport renewal has declined and we have the event in Europe.
But it does not matter, the police must be able to deliver better.
Should you have been more foresighted about this?
- Yes, if we are to be self-critical, we should have done it even better.
In connection with the visit to Jönköping, Anders Thornberg met various parts of the business in southern Vätterbygden.
Among other things, the meeting with employees has given an even stronger signal to work more with legislation and dialogue with other authorities to facilitate the investigation work.
