Background & Purpose

The 2015 police reform was intended to make the police more flexible and efficient, but a review by the Swedish National Audit Office concluded that the goals of the reform have not been fully met. The opposition submitted 18 motions proposing various improvements.

The Decision

The parliament decided to close the matter without making any new decisions or changes to the law, effectively rejecting the opposition's proposals.
