This study is a case study regarding organizational change within the Swedish police, using the example National Fraud Center (Nationellt bedrägericenter). The study aims to investigate what requirements and expectations are formulated in the government’s steering documents, and how the police handled these requirements when establishing the fraud center. Theoretically, the study is placed within a combination of neo-institutional organizational theory, and a theory of governance that connects the governance perspective with organizational theory. The material consists of appropriation directives, budget bills and a government assignment, as well as three documents from the police describing the police's considerations during the emergence of the center. A qualitative content analysis shows that the police, by establishing a fraud center, could accommodate many of the government's requirements and expectations. This can be explained by the fact that the government's steering of the police had an impact in this specific case.
