Tiivistelmä
The Report assesses the state of internal security in Finland and the drivers of change affecting it, and it defines the internal security objectives and the direction of development for the current decade.
Finland is the safest country in the world. The Report aims to ensure the further development of internal security so that Finland will be an even safer country for all people and population groups in the future. Finland's internal security policy is mainly based on prevention. The feeling of safety is an important part of internal security, and a strong feeling of safety and security also protects society from new types of security threats.
This objective will be implemented by shifting the focus of the authorities' activities from corrective services to prevention, by maintaining a high level of trust in internal security operators among all population groups and by ensuring that assistance is quickly available in emergencies throughout the country. Problems with security will be prevented through extensive cooperation. Crimes will be detected and investigated efficiently and effectively. Threats to national security will be identified and countered. Finland will be active and proactive in international cooperation in the field of internal security. High-quality internal security services require sufficient resources.
