“Instead Eliasson decided to give a long and speculative monolog where he diminished the suspected murder’s actions.  Finishing off the letter, where he also apologised to the people on

behalf of the commissioner, he said: “Finally, a call to you, Dan Eliasson. Resign from your position as national police chief. You have nothing to bring to the Swedish police more than

complete chaos and total police frustration.” Despite the calls for his resignation as the Swedish police force faces an existential crisis, with an average of three officers handing in

their notice last year, Mr Eliassons has been allowed to remain in his role.  Hitting back at the thundering accusation the government was unwilling to take the necessary action, Mr Löfven

insisted the commissioner was independent of party politics.  However, he added: “Yes, better results of the police are required. We all agree on that.”  In February 2016, the National

Criminal Investigation Service was forced to admit more than 50 areas in were now labelled as “no-go zones” as sex crimes, attacks on police, drug dealing and children carrying weapons were

common occurrences.  Malmo, Sweden’s third-largest city, has been so hard hit by crime and car fires, the Social Democrats demanded soldiers should be sent in to reestablish law and order.

Speaking to Expressen, Mr Olsson also said there was a great lack of police officers in Sweden, which means officers could benefit from the armed forces’ resources.  He said: “There is a

great lack of police officers in Sweden and Malmö. For this reason, it is perhaps time to let the military and police to stand together to reestablish order in the country.”
