Why this option does not fit
Åklagarmyndigheten
After an arrest, the prosecutor decides whether to order further detention; police normally carry out the arrest itself.
Tingsrätten
The district court considers matters such as remand but does not carry out the initial police arrest.
Kriminalvården
The Prison and Probation Service runs remand facilities, among other tasks; this differs from the initial police arrest.
