Sweden's national law enforcement agency modernizing investigation and operations tech
Swedish Police Authority is Sweden's largest public agency, operating a 10,000+ person workforce across national and regional crime investigation, prevention, and enforcement. The tech stack reveals a mature, polyglot engineering operation: TypeScript, Python, Go, React, Angular, Kubernetes, and Spring Boot underpin core systems, while Elasticsearch, Qlik Sense, and GIS tools support investigative workflows. Active replacement of Microsoft Dynamics 365 signals infrastructure modernization in progress. Hiring velocity is accelerating across security, engineering, and ops roles, with leadership gaps in sustainable management supply and a notable focus on scaling AI/ML for crime prevention and handling complex cybercrime.
