Häme Police Department, units and services

We provide police services in 21 municipalities in the Kanta-Häme and Päijät-Häme regions. Our area is characterised by the beautiful ridge landscape of Lake Päijänne and a road network popular among tourists. There are several busy traffic hubs in the area, such as Riihimäki, Hämeenlinna and Lahti. For more information on our services and opening hours, see the details of individual police stations.

  • In emergencies, always dial 112.

    Prefer online services.

    Read the instructions first before applying for a passport, identity card or other permit, or submitting a crime report. Book an appointment beforehand, if possible.

    The police department that handles your case gives responses to pending cases. You can order pre-trial investigation reports and inquiries about unfinished investigationsrecords and copies from the police department or police station. Please do not come to the duty desk at the police station or to permit services with weapons, ammunition or explosives. In matters related to the inspection and handover of weapons, please read the instructions for arrival at the police station or permit services on the website of the relevant office.

    If you wish, you can send a message to the police via the Police Secure Mail service. Learn more about the use of Police Secure Mail at poliisi.fi/en/secure-mail.
