Lainvalvovien

Lainvalvovien is a Finnish term that translates to "law enforcers" or "those who enforce the law." It is a broad category encompassing various individuals and organizations responsible for upholding and implementing laws within Finland. This includes police officers, prosecutors, judges, and prison officials. The Finnish police, known as Poliisi, are the primary law enforcement agency responsible for maintaining public order, preventing and investigating crimes, and assisting citizens. Prosecutors, part of the prosecution service, determine whether criminal charges should be filed and represent the state in criminal proceedings. The judiciary, comprising district courts, courts of appeal, and the Supreme Court, interprets and applies the law, resolving legal disputes and ensuring justice. Finally, the criminal sanctions agency, Rikosseuraamuslaitos, oversees the correctional facilities and community sanctions, managing the rehabilitation and reintegration of offenders. Together, these entities form the comprehensive system of law enforcement and the administration of justice in Finland.
