Social Workers Can Now Get Police Help

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council has authorized 41 social workers at the Social Emergency Services to request police assistance in specific situations. This applies to cases such as compulsory care for substance abusers (LVM), taking young people into care (LVU), and implementing decisions to place children in sheltered housing. The decision enables these officials to call upon police support when necessary to protect individuals and carry out crucial interventions.
