Philip Jansson has many years behind him as a police officer, chief of police and internal auditor.

But he describes the past six months as unique. 

- They take honor and glory from me.

Last year, Jansson and his colleagues reviewed the governance of, among other things, the criticized NFC department.

Their critical conclusions were dismissed by NFC chief Helena Trolläng and the auditors were told that she accused them of bias and a hidden agenda.

- There is hardly any more serious accusation against an internal auditor, says Philip Jansson.

The criticism prompted the auditors' chief to strike parts of the report, prompting the auditors to drop out - and the report was published in December without names.

PM to Thornberg

Already last autumn, Philip Jansson had sent a four-page memorandum to national police chief Anders Thornberg in which he described the conflict.

He also reported Helena Trolläng to the department for special investigations.

Prosecutors did not initiate a preliminary investigation, but after SVT's disclosure, the national police chief has decided on a labor law investigation against Trolläng.

At the same time, Philip Jansson now tells us that he is to be reassigned because the head of internal audit accuses him of having been disloyal when he informed the national police chief.

- When you do this to me - what messages do you send to all other employees?

"Not disloyal"

Philip Jansson's trade union organization Akavia does not want to comment on the individual case, but negotiation manager Anna Steen rejects the idea that it would be disloyal to raise the alarm.

- Pointing out inaccuracies or malpractices internally and alerting the superior manager that something is not right is not disloyal. 

SVT has applied for the head of internal audit and the head of the national police.

The police's press department writes that they do not comment on the events because there is an ongoing investigation into the actions of the NFC manager.
