About the employer:

A changing crime picture, the security policy situation and rapid digitization mean that the police have to equip themselves better. We must change in order to stand in continuous development and to maintain a safe Norway. 

In the future, the police will have to deliver services in other ways, so we must rethink how professions and technology work together. The police's IT unit has overall responsibility for technology development in the police.

The products we make must add value to citizens, partners and our colleagues in the police. We learn along the way, develop further and measure that we are on the right track. We create value step by step. 

We work in interdisciplinary teams and closely with our users. Together we create a more digital and accessible police force. 

We work to see each other's perspectives and share knowledge with each other. Not least we own the whole together.
