Controversial Website Exposes Personal Data of Swedish Police Officers

An anonymous website with a foreign domain is mapping detailed personal information about police officers in southern Sweden.

The site, registered in a Caribbean island nation, lists 168 names of individuals who, according to the site, are or have been police officers in the Highlands of Småland. Each officer is linked to a personal profile page, displaying full names, personal numbers, birthplaces, and exact home addresses, reports SmT.

About 30 of the officers also have personal "reviews" on the site.

Most of these are derogatory.

Officers are accused of having an "overbearing attitude," being "sadistic," or behaving poorly towards women. In one instance, it is claimed that an officer sought private contact with women after meeting them in a professional capacity.

No evidence for these accusations or information on their sources is provided.

Search for Unmarked Police Cars

The site also lists officers who have been charged with crimes, according to Smålandstidningen.

Through simple search functions, visitors to the site can also search for vehicles registered to the Customs and the police – both unmarked and marked police cars.

Police Region East writes in an email to Expressen that they are aware of the site.

"This is naturally something we take seriously, and it is being handled according to our current procedures," writes Angelica Israelsson Silfver, spokesperson for the police in the East, declining to provide further comments.

Website Responds After Media Coverage

Shortly after several media outlets reported on the site, a comment was posted on the homepage.

"There is nothing on this site that incites crimes against either individual officers or the police force at large," it states.
