This chapter examines the development and current state of forensic archaeology and anthropology within Swedish law enforcement, specifically the Swedish Police Authority (SPA) and the National Board of Forensic Medicine (NBFM). It traces the history of regional initiatives and identifies past challenges, including a lack of standardization and formal recognition. The chapter details recent formalization efforts, including the establishment of dedicated forensic archaeology positions at the SPA’s National Forensic Centre and steps toward formalizing forensic anthropology at the NBFM. Key aspects of the ongoing process are discussed, such as the development of standard operating procedures, quality assurance measures, and proficiency testing. This chapter highlights the benefits of developing these disciplines within law enforcement, including improved collaboration, access to case information, and the ability to influence investigative strategies. However, challenges remain, particularly in terms of resources and nationwide implementation. The authors argue for the continued development and formalization of forensic archaeology and anthropology in Sweden in order to enhance the quality and consistency of investigations pertaining to forensic archaeology and anthropology. This chapter provides insights into the process of establishing new forensic specialties within the existing law enforcement structures.
