Neighbours to share police station: ”Half the building is in Sweden, the other half in Norway”

Swedish and Norwegian police move in together next week, sharing a police station built on the actual border between the countries.

"It's a very unique building because we're building this police station right on the border between Sweden and Norway, so half of the building is in Sweden and the other half is in Norway," superintendent Jonas Wendel, head of the Swedish police district of Arvika, in Värmland tells Radio Sweden.

Rules don't permit a property to be built on or close to a national border and while an exception has been made for the new, shared police station, Jonas Wendell says there have been many obstacles to overcome.
