Malmö: Police hire security guards
The police have contracted a security firm to help with the surveillance and protection of the police station in the Malmö suburb of Rosengård.
In connection with unrest in Rosengård the station has on repeated occasions been the target of fireworks, vandalism and stone-throwing youths.
The security firm will be deployed to help to ensure that the vandalism is not repeated, according to a report by local TV4 news program.
Michael Storm at Malmö police pointed out to TV4 that the move in no way meant that the police were unable to look after themselves.
The security firm will instead render it unnecessary for police officers to keep watch outside their own police station and free up resources for other duties. The firm will help the police to monitor those moving in and around the area.
"We of course think that this is an insecure situation, but now it has happened and we are working on normalizing the situation," he said.
