Här är polisen facts for kids

"Här är polisen" (which means "Here is the Police") is a popular children's song. It is also sometimes called "Poliskonstapeln" ("The Police Officer"). This song was written by Stina Nyström and Nils-Henrik Nyström.

The song talks about the important job of police officers. It shows how they help with traffic and keep society safe. In the 1970s, some people felt the song made the police seem a little scary to children. This was because of some of the words in the song's later verses.
