Police

The Finnish police managed to meet the expectations and requirements set for the police efficiently and productively during 2025. As an example, in emergency response assignments the police arrived at the scene in 9.5 minutes, which was clearly below the target time. At the same time, the number of assignments has increased significantly.

There has been a sharp rise in the number of suspected sexual offences reported to the police where the perpetrator is a minor. According the National Police Board’s statistics for 2025, the number of suspected criminal offences committed by under-15s has increased by 78 per cent in five years. Among 15- to 17-year-olds, the number has increased by 63 per cent.
