Funny how the Swedish police are pushing hard for job candidates to have a drivers license, even if all you do is sit on your ass and conduct criminal investigations on a fixed location.
Too bad for them that i fulfil all the criteria - and then some, having done forensics investigations for the military, OSINT investigations, written lengthy reports, am a fullstack developer who writes my own tools and is an expert in visualisation of security events.
Before you put out a job ad where you (desperately) seek specialist candidates - ask yourself "Is this hiring criteria REALLY relevant to the job for this position"?
Also i've heard that forensics people who do data collection for law enforcement in Sweden are supposed to have a college (like with a gun) present during collection of hardware and storage data at a suspects location, according to a guy i knew in the military who had worked in the police, but i found out earlier from a police forensics guy that "This is not always the case".
Stuff like that really doesn't make you feel comfortable, even if i had a drivers license i would be sceptical of applying.
In the military it was a different ball game when you did investigations on the inside of a government agency, you did not have to worry about a suspect returning "home" and physical threats, sometimes you already had access to the data via other means so collection wasn't always necessary.
Two very disparate working environments. Regardless i saw a job ad and just wanted to vent a bit.
