Investigators have been ordered to investigate traffic violations instead of other more serious crimes, as "Project Alcatraz" has been launched. Police now fear even more crime.
Swedish police are becoming less able to solve crimes, which is becoming an embarrassment for the national police chief, Dan Eliasson, who apparently now fears for his job.
There is growing internal criticism against the police management, which is believed to engage in a "pinnjakt" to keep Eliasson as the national police chief, writes DN.
The National Police in Stockholm, this week launched "Project Alcatraz," which goal is to increase the percentage of solved crimes. Critics, however, argue that the project is just a "pinnjakt" that encourages officers to focus on the simple crimes like drugs, fraud and driving offenses, in order to improve the statistics.
- The sole purpose is to deliver positive figures, so that the Chief of Police Dan Eliasson doesn't lose his job, says an experienced investigator to DN.
The investigator has been ordered that from now on to investigate traffic violations instead of more serious crime.

That Dan Eliasson never was a cop, yet he was put in charge of the whole thing, increasingly shows.

Until foreign corpses go without investigation, the problems will continue.
The more I read these kinds of reports, the more I remember Atlas Shrugged.
Dan Eliasson’s CV (resume) lists out government employee and lawyer. He’s been the national police commissioner for three years.
Other jobs? For a while, he was the chief of the Swedish Social Insurance Agency. He also did a couple of years with the Justice Ministry. For a brief while, he was the acting chief of the Swedish Security Service, and for three years head up the chief’s job of Swedish Migration Agency.
Police background? None. He appears to be some odd-jobs character that the politicians pull out and shuffle into place.
One should note....he did have a brief entertainment career...with a punk rock band in the late 1970s. Their big hit, which made the national scene was “**cking in Bangkok”. Made the national charts in Sweden in 1979.
It would almost seem like they picked Dan for the job because they knew he’d screw it up....one way or another.
Project Head-in-the-Sand will solve all those pesky little problems.
Why haven’t we tried this method in the USA?
There is an upside to this.
Perhaps some there know and passed this as a way to solve the problem.
We did. Remember the Carter administration?

Here’s an idea sweden- just do away with police altogether- because that’s what yer headed fer anerways- Then cover your eyes, ears, and mouths and declare “Crimes? What Crimes? We don’t have any crimes”
Is sweden run by idiots or something?
David Dinkins tried that.
It worked SO well then too!

Well, now we know why everyone looked away when Hitler rose...
I believe that the most-fitting English translation would be "snipe-hunt" - or perhaps simply "diversion."

Its like the New York Board of Regents dropping the literacy requirement for teacher certification.
The Swedes aren’t stupid.
But they are insane.
OMG, Europe is lost! How will we save ourselves?
Worked in NYC.
IKR! More than brilliant, it was prophetic.
This is the exact inverse of the “broken windows” policing theory, where minor crimes such as turnstile jumping are prosecuted to keep community respect for law and order from deteriorating.
Rent out the Islamic ghettos for live fire combat in cities training.
Trump was right, again.
