turvallisuusviranomaisia

Turvallisuusviranomaisia is a Finnish term that translates to "security authorities" or "security agencies." It refers to the various governmental bodies in Finland responsible for maintaining public order, national security, and the safety of citizens. These authorities operate across a spectrum of responsibilities, encompassing law enforcement, intelligence gathering, emergency services, and border control.

Key among these are the Finnish Police, tasked with general law enforcement, crime prevention, and investigation. The Finnish Border Guard (Rajavartiolaitos) is responsible for guarding Finland's borders, including maritime and air frontiers, and for preventing cross-border crime. The Finnish Security Intelligence Service (Suojelupoliisi) focuses on national security threats, such as terrorism, espionage, and foreign influence operations.

Other entities that fall under the umbrella of turvallisuusviranomaisia can include emergency response centers, customs, and specialized units within ministries that deal with national security matters. These organizations work collaboratively to ensure a safe and secure environment for Finland and its residents, adhering to Finnish laws and international agreements. Their operations are guided by principles of legality, proportionality, and respect for human rights.
