Applicants who are hired will be trained as police officers in accordance with Functionally Oriented Police Training (Police Ordinance 2014:1104 and Ordinance on Police Training 2014:1105).

After completing and passing studies and trainee training, as well as security clearance, the participant will be hired as a police assistant, given a permanent position and placed at Region Mitt, the Regional Investigation Unit with the function of investigator and location in Västerås. Permanent employment begins with a 6-month probationary period.
