Poliisiasetukseen

Poliisiasetus is the Finnish term for a police regulation. It refers to the subordinate legislation that provides detailed rules and instructions for the operation of the Finnish Police. These regulations are issued by the Ministry of the Interior, which is the supervising authority for the police.

The purpose of police regulations is to specify how national laws and overarching police directives are to be implemented in practice. They cover a wide range of issues, including police organization, duties, use of force, data management, training requirements, and the handling of specific types of incidents. For example, a police regulation might detail the procedures for traffic control, the process for issuing permits, or the guidelines for responding to public order disturbances.

These regulations are crucial for ensuring consistency, legality, and efficiency in police work across the country. They provide a clear framework for police officers to follow, ensuring that their actions are in line with legal requirements and established best practices. Police regulations are publicly accessible, allowing citizens to understand the rules governing police operations and the rights and responsibilities associated with them. They are periodically reviewed and updated to reflect changes in legislation, societal needs, and technological advancements.
