- Piketen abstract "Piketen (or Piketenheten) is a special operations asset of the Swedish Police Service, similar to the SWAT in the United States. It is called in when situations that are too dangerous for ordinary police to handle occur, such as hostage situations, arresting armed suspects and arresting barricaded suspects.The main task for Piketen is dangerous situations in dangerous environments, i.e. hostage situations. Other tasks are riot control, escorting VIP's/objects of value and serving high-risk arrest warrants etc. Piketen has been active since 1979, and its creation was an answer to the events of the Norrmalmstorg robbery in 1973, where robber Jan-Erik "Janne" Olsson took four hostages at Kreditbanken at Norrmalmstorg ("Norrmalm's Square") in Stockholm. They are stationed in the three largest cities of Sweden: Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö.Piketen spends 30% of their time on training, which is mainly focused on high-risk intervention. For example, multiple perpetrators in rural terrain, in an urban envorinment, houses or vehicles. Sometimes, hostages are involved. Such interventions require a lot of advanced tactical training. The unit strives to resolve any given situation as peacefully as possible and avoid injury or loss of life and uses highly trained negotiators when tactically possible. Circumstances also dictate whether they operate in uniform or civillian clothing and mostly make use of unmarked civillian vehicles or special assault vehicles.Piket officers are very well trained in many methods of entry, such as rapelling and door breaching.Piket officers from Malmö and Gothenburg have been deployed with the EULEX Intervention Group in Kosovo, tasked with high-risk operations such as hostage rescue and arresting armed criminals.".
