Stefan Holgersson

Associate Professor, Docent

I am a researcher and a police officer. As a researcher, I study areas of activity within the police force, but also the police as an organization. As a police officer, I work on the front line. 

Police officer and researcher

I am a systems scientist and associate professor in information systems development, as well as a professor of police science at the Police University College in Oslo. I am also in my 30th year as an active police officer. My research has mainly focused on the Police Authority, although I have also studied the use of digital tools in upper secondary schools, among other things.

I am a practical researcher who engages in action research and have extensive education and experience in various forms of development work. I have also held management positions where I have led various forms of change work. For over ten years, I worked as a consultant and was involved in various forms of business development. I was also employed by the Stockholm Police Research and Development Unit for eight years, where I ran and participated in various development projects.

Research disseminated within the police force

My research is in demand in various contexts. Something that I find particularly gratifying is that experts in various fields of police work have appreciated the research I have conducted and have requested lectures and used research reports that I have produced in training courses.

Focus on development work

As part of my research, I have had the opportunity to work at more than a hundred different police stations. What has been particularly rewarding is that I have had the opportunity to gain insight into the work from the lowest operational level up to the highest hierarchical level. This has given me a deep understanding of the police authority's operations.
