In the 1990s, Helin was the Director of Social Services in Maria-Högalid. He was appointed as Director of Social Servicesin Sköndal in 1996.[2] He was appointed Director of Social Services and The Labour Market Administration. He was a major contributor to establishing the modern Swedish Child Protective Services.[3] He held the opinion that police and Social Services should be separated.[3] He was appointed Director of Stockholms Social Services. He exposed sexual abuse and sexual trade within government agencies in 2005.[4] He was an outspoken critic of the Swedish Migration Agency in relation to abuse against assailants.[5] In 2007, he actively scrutinized the Swedish government for turning a blind eye to corruption within the police force following the arrest of Göran Linberg or “Kapten Klänning” (Captain Dress), a police chief that later was exposed as a serial rapist.[6] In 2009, Dag Helin resigned without formal notice.[7] In June 2009, he stated in an article published by SVT that “no reason was given to as to why he should resign”.[7] Today the circumstances  behind the resignation are still uncertain. Helin married Eva Christina Lundin (b. 1947) in 1976.[1]
