On Sunday, police announced a "special national incident" to look into a recent spate of violent crime incidents including explosions and fatal shootings. The length of time that the task force operates depends on the incident. For special regional incidents, regional police are responsible for the organization and may request support or extra resources from Noa, which has the final say in which help is approved. The special incident introduced to deal with recent violent crime is a national one. Previous examples of special national incidents in Sweden include those which dealt with the April 2017 Stockholm terror attack, the summer 2018 wildfires, the wave of migration in 2015, and then-US President Barack Obama's visit in 2013.
