My guess is that the police have some internal name for communication between police <> outside or possibly journalists. At least that's what I gather from the context, they don't want this to come out in public.
> Update: Did a google
I see! I did some searches as well but came back empty handed. Thanks for figuring it out!

ether = aether = "a medium that was once supposed to fill all space and to support the propagation of electromagnetic waves". This definitely suggests that what their trying to communicate here is that they don't want to see their names circulating on mediums like the Internet or other oldschool broadcasting mediums like newspapers, radio and television.

In Swedish, "rymden" kan also refer to just the "space" or "attention" really. It doesn't imply any public space really, just any space.

One way to look at the use of "space" there is that an English speaker would say "room", as in "chat room".
The text says "durtvårymden", and the latter part rymden, in context, is likely best translated to "ether". Ie, they don't want their name to be circulating in the ... ether. I would guess Durtvå is either a misspelling or a specific network.
Update: Did a google (should have done that earlier) and got back an answer: Durtvå is the "Datoriserad utredningsrutin med tvångsmedelshantering" system. Translated to english I would call it the computerized investigation and police action system.
