Emelie Kullmyr, 53, will now become the new head of one of five areas in police region West (which includes Västra Götaland and Halland).
She thus succeeds Erik Nord, who held the post since 2015.
Your representative Erik Nord received both criticism and praise for expressing some opinions on social media. Will we get to see you do that?
- No, I'm not a person who is into social media that much.
I strongly believe in working together with my subordinates and many other people.
That the staff talk.
It is about building the big picture, we need to get much better at painting the entire ecosystem that is the police.
We need to describe how everything is connected.
Long-term policing
An issue that is raised frequently during the election campaign is "tougher action" against criminals.
- Police work is not a term of office in an election, but is long-term.
There are legislative changes that must be made in order for us to have better tools.
But then it is necessary to bring the whole chain together.
To keep a line so that it doesn't get too loud.
"It will take decades"
Is it even possible to talk about "getting tougher" as a strategy?
- It sounds simplistic, there is a lot more that is needed.
That there are other choices for people.
That there is an alternative.
- A wise colleague answered a critical politician a few years ago that "it has taken decades to dig this pit, it will take decades to dig the pit again.
So grab a shovel and help.”
I had it with me.
There are no quick fixes, she says.
