Police buses roll from Dalarna for recruitment

More police are needed in Dalarna, so for the first time, buses are being organized to take applicants to Stockholm for tests. Isabel Ornby, a police officer in Avesta, hopes to fill the buses with more applicants over 30.

Dalarna faces a shortage of police officers, prompting a new recruitment effort. For the first time, "Dalarna buses" are being arranged to transport potential police candidates from the region to Stockholm to undergo tests assessing their suitability for the profession.

Isabel Ornby, who works as a police officer in Avesta, is involved in the initiative and expresses hope that the buses will be filled with applicants, particularly those over 30 years old. She highlights the importance of attracting more experienced candidates to the police force.

The initiative is described as a way to make it easier for interested individuals in Dalarna to take the step toward a career in policing. The article also notes that this is the first time such police buses are being organized specifically from the region.
