Utdannelsen her er ikke så omfattende som ved de andre leire og av mer tilfeldig art, da leiren samtidig tjener som oppsamlingsleir for de nordmenn som skal videre til Storbritannia. Ventetiden brukes til teoretisk undervisning av forskjellig art.bildet viser en nyankommen til leiren, som registreres på leirens kontor.

Stockholm 7.10.44 In accordance with an agreement reached in June, 1943, between the Norwegian and Swedish Governments, a small number of Norwegians were trained as policemen in Sweden. As, however, the Norwegian Police Force in occupied Norway has been considerably reduced and partly Nazified, it has become imperative that Norwegians abroad should train a strong police force, in order to keep law and order during the liberation of Norway. In consequence, 1,500 Norwegians started an extensive training in 3 different camps in Gottröra in Uppland. Later on, more Norwegians were called in and today, 9,500 men are being trained as police in 17 different camps. The training is carried out under Swedish control and partly by Swedish instructors. In some of the camps, training in the use of weapons is being allowed and weapons have been supplied from Swedish stores. Picture shows a new recruit arriving at the camp at Thoresta.
