Police in region Mitt are expanding their popular volunteer pilot project, which informs elderly people about phone scams, to Uppsala in 2026. The project began in Västerås due to high demand for information. Fraud is one of the most common crimes investigated, with profits reaching about 5.7 billion kronor in 2025.

Police in region Mitt report 992 indoor assault cases against women over 18 in relationships last year, compared to 152 outdoors. The pattern holds for men, though with lower numbers. Authorities urge greater awareness of crimes hidden behind closed doors.
