In August, the police's National Operational Department (Noa) published a previously classified report that concludes that organized and family-based crime has likely entered the HVB market. The police listed 18 HVB homes in southern, western, and central Sweden – but refuses to name them.
Now, the City of Stockholm wants to make a new attempt to obtain the list, to get a picture of whether the municipality has children placed in the identified HVB homes.
However, according to the police, the list is based on classified intelligence material, and they instead urge the municipalities to improve their own monitoring of the homes.
The information will be shared as quickly as possible "without disrupting ongoing supervision and operational cases", writes the police's media center in an email to TT.
The police say they understand the frustration but point out the importance of municipalities not "focusing on a specific number of identified homes", but instead regularly monitoring their contractors.
