Police on social media
Police on social media
We use social media to educate the public about police work. We also use our social media profiles as a way to quickly communicate information that could help our followers to, for example, avoid traffic jams or stay safe.
We are on social media because you are too
The police wants to be present where people are. In social media, we are involved in a large group. Each police department has its own social media accounts.
On police accounts, those who work in the police tell about their work. Welcome to follow the daily work and work of the police!
Each police organization account and expert account is listed below so you can be sure that an account really represents the Police in Finland.

A user may be blocked if such conduct is repeated or if no less intrusive measure is available. No notification will be given to the author of the deletion of a message or of being blocked.
We never comment on private matters.
Please do not send us personal information belonging to yourself or anyone else on social media. Instead, please use our secure communication channels, such as
