We have federal laws and local laws where I live, but I don’t live in a federation either.

There are no “local laws” in Sweden that differ between parts if the country, only laws that apply to the entire country.

According to the English version of the Swedish government’s website, Sweden does have local laws though? It says there are 23 regions, with 290 municipalities, that are allowed, and have laws, that pertain only to that district/municipality. That the central Swedish government regulates their governance to make sure it adheres to constitution’s, and central government law also regulates these areas.

Mange something with translation IDK. Municipalities can have different regulations, and breaking them can carry a penalty. But these are not laws.
The “central investigative authorities” are the same police institution and regional police, they’re just a different department so to speak.

Interesting. What about federal police?

It’s just police, there’s not really any policing entity above just regular police.

So every police officer can go and answer every call?
Over here we have police zones, and police officers patrol their own zone and handle the issues of their own zone (as long as no outside backup is required). Then we have the federal police that handle national issues and stuff like murders.
