In a new blog, National Police Commissioner Ilkka Koskimäki states that the police's social media communications must primarily serve the core mission of the police: enhancing safety, providing accurate information, and strengthening public trust in the police. The objective is effective communication.

“When the police speak, they should speak about matters that matter: matters that improve safety, help people, and strengthen trust in the police. This is the direction in which we want to develop police communications together.”
