The Swedish Police Authority (Swedish: Polismyndigheten) is the national police force (Polisen) of the Kingdom of Sweden. The first modern police force in Sweden was established in the mid-19th century, and the police remained in effect under local government control up until 1965, when it was nationalized and became increasingly centralized,[3] to finally organize under one authority January 1, 2015. Concurrent with this change, the Swedish Security Service formed its own agency.[4] The new authority was created to address shortcomings in the division of duties and responsibilities, and to make it easier for the Government to demand greater accountability.[5] The agency is organized into seven police regions and eight national departments.[6] It is one of the largest government agencies in Sweden, with more than 28,500 employees, of which police officers accounted for approximately 75 percent of the personnel in 2014.[7][4] It takes two and a half years to become a police officer in Sweden, including six months of paid workplace practice.[8] Approximately a third of all police students are women, and in 2011 women accounted for 40 percent of all employees.[9][10]
