Polisen i Strömstad (English: The police in Strömstad) is a Swedish drama comedy television series. It premiered on 21 January 1982 on SVT, and was filmed as five miniseries between 1982 and 1996.[1] The series is based on Gösta Unefäldt's crime novels and was directed by Arne Lifmark.[2] The series diverged from the books. Stefan Ljungqvist's character Evald Larsson died in first of Unefäldt's novels, but survived in the tv series and became a very popular audience favourite.[3]

It was watched by millions of viewers when it was first broadcast on TV.[4] The series also received praise from the police force for its credibility, because the series reflected the everyday life of the police in a good way.
