Police Traffic Safety Centre

Photos from the fixed automatic traffic cameras are sent wirelessly to the Police Traffic Safety Centre in Helsinki. The photo taken by a traffic safety camera shows the vehicle, the licence plate, the driver, and identification data.

The Police Traffic Safety Centre is subordinate to the National Police Board but administratively a part of the Helsinki Police Department. The primary goal of the Traffic Safety Centre is to improve traffic safety. The Police Traffic Safety Centre deals with about 150 000 traffic offences and crimes detected through automatic traffic surveillance each year.

In addition to matters of automatic traffic surveillance, all the requests for administrative review of traffic penalty fees issued by the Helsinki police department are considered in the Traffic Safety Centre.

Online services 

You can see all your open traffic penalty fee matters and, if the offence was detected in automatic traffic surveillance, a photograph of the driver by logging into the police’s online services. 

You can use online services in order to answer a request of hearing or a request for evidence or to request an administrative review of a traffic penalty fee issued to you. You can answer a request by going to “hearing requests and requests for further information” and request an administrative review by going to “appeals and traffic penalty fee matters under processing”.

If you have received a letter of enquiry about a traffic crime, you can answer it by going to “traffic offences recorded by traffic surveillance devices”.
