Polisen API

Public police event data can support local awareness tools and news workflows. Apiverket makes the data easier to test safely.

Fetch public police events and related public-safety endpoints with consistent authentication and JSON responses.

What can you fetch?

  • Police events
  • Police stations
  • Wanted-person related public endpoints where available

What can you build?

  • Local event maps
  • Newsroom monitoring
  • Public safety dashboards
  • AI summaries of public incident feeds

Common problems with the original source

  • Event data can be location- and time-sensitive.
  • Consumers need clear source attribution and update timing.
  • The data is useful but should not be overinterpreted.

How Apiverket makes it easier

  • Use predictable endpoint examples.
  • Combine event data with municipality and map-related sources.
  • Keep response format consistent with the rest of Apiverket.

Example request

/v1/police/events/v1/police/stations/v1/police/wanted
curl
curl "https://apiverket.se/v1/police/events" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_test_demo"
Freshness: Event data is time-sensitive and uses short cache settings where possible.
Source: Apiverket is independent from Polismyndigheten. Public-safety use cases should show source, time and limitations clearly. Polismyndigheten.
