Trusselnivå

Trusselnivå is a Swedish term that translates to "threat level" in English. It is commonly used by authorities, such as the Swedish Security Service (Säpo), to communicate the perceived risk of terrorist attacks or other serious security threats within the country. The threat level is typically presented on a scale, often ranging from low to high, with specific descriptions for each level. This system allows the public to understand the general security situation and for authorities to implement appropriate security measures. Changes in the trusselnivå are usually announced publicly and are based on intelligence assessments and ongoing evaluations of potential threats. The concept aims to provide transparency and prepare citizens for potential security challenges, while also guiding security agencies in their operational planning. It is a dynamic indicator, meaning it can be raised or lowered depending on evolving circumstances and intelligence.
