Reply to comment by Ampersand55 in Swedish Deputy National Police Chief and Regional Police Chief found dead amidst investigation on gross misconduct by FinneVirta

> He was not biased in his decision hiring her in the first place as she was one of the best qualified and they hadn't started their affair yet.

But the articles says this:

> Expressen writes that 21 others with extensive police experience applied for the position of head of intelligence, but that Staaf had no police experience.

Doesn't appear that she was one of the most qualified.

I was just reporting on the conclusion by the internal investigation.

She didn't go the the Police Academy, but she was qualified as a police officer through internal training programmes. She has Candidate of Law degree and a Bachelor's degree in economics and was the CFO of one of Sweden's seven police regions before the appointment as chief of intelligence at NOA. It doesn't look like she was underqualified, but I'm sure many would have liked to see a "real cop" in the position.
