You will find us in these social media channels. Also many of our units have their own social media presence.
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.
