Trøndelag / Trondheim News: Police Reveal Their Threat Assessment

At a press conference on Thursday, the Trøndelag police presented their threat assessment for 2027. John Ola Volden, head of the joint intelligence and investigation unit (Felles enhet for etterretning og etterforskning), said that the police have so far succeeded in preventing these violent assignments from being carried out. “The police have so far succeeded in preventing these violent assignments before they are carried out,” he said, according to NRK Trøndelag / Trondheim.

The assessment emphasizes that violence as a service, or “violence as a service,” has become more common in recent years. Investigations show that young people are actively seeking recruitment channels and want to take on assignments. The report states that these violent assignments in Norway have largely been linked to Swedish criminal networks. “Swedish methods and structures for organizing violent assignments increasingly characterize violent crime,” the police wrote in their report.

This assessment comes as the Trøndelag police say they have foiled several violence plots before they were carried out. The authorities are calling for vigilance against this phenomenon, which particularly affects young people. (NRK Trøndelag / Trondheim)
