Conny Andersson (police officer)

Conny Andersson (born 1967) is Swedish former police officer born and raised in Stockholm who served for 20 years in the Swedish police academy before quitting his job in 2011 after having been falsely accused by his chief, along many others, for assault when he apprehended a suspect, aged 15 driving a scooter, during a police chase. He was also charged and convicted with abuse, molestation, misconduct and carelessness in traffic. Today he runs a firm where he teaches tracking educating criminal technicians, body guards and military personnel. In an interview with TV4 he stated that he tracks crimes using an ancient Indian-American method. Conny is considered the most professional tracker in Sweden using Apache methods. Conny has stated that he loves wolves. He has warned that poaching is exterminating wolves in Sweden.

Conny has reported illegal traps in the woods and he believes that the hidden statistics in poaching is big. In 2006, Conny started a tracking school named "Tracker School Sweden" in Sigtuna where he told a reporter that the people who hate him are criminal hunters and poachers who illegally kill wolves. He also stated in an interview that the wolves are sometimes run over, beaten and mutilated. Conny has stated that tracking is as much about finding as it is about searching within one self. He was fascinated by the curiosity of life at the age of 4 and began searching the truth. He is a vegan, and he walks barefoot and is passioned about moral, personal development, justice, freedom and truth. Conny believes that tracking is the first human trait enabling travel to new locations.

In 2007 he began watching the forests for poachers with his movement APU (Anti Poaching Unit) inspired from Africa. In 2016 his unit discovered an animal which had been poached and then burned. He was threatened by poachers who reported him but the charges were dropped as no crime had been committed. Connys associates were threatened as poachers visited their homes, slashed their tires, and ridiculed them in the local papers. Conny studied tracking in Tom Browns tracking school in America as his previous working methods left him frustrated and when he came back he became a specialist within the Swedish police. He discovered the escape route from the Västberga helicopter robbery. In an interview, Conny stated that the convicted Nerijus Bilevicius did not kill Lisa Holm but rather that he was framed by a group of Swedish police executives, attorneys, judges, reporters and that even Leif GW Persson had something to do with it. His movement explicitly protested against violence and slander. Conny believes that the Lisa Holm was the daughter of a Swedish secret service agent and that he tried to protect her. Conny has been criticized by hunting movements and by a reporter who considers Conny a "ranger". In 2015, Connys unit photographed hunters suspected of poaching and the photographs were turned over to the authorities.
