In Finland the Police is one of the animal protection authorities. They take care of many animal related stuff as well as the normal Police stuff.

I saw a documentary a long time ago about police forces in different European countries, several episodes were from Finland. I felt that Finnish police seems like really helpful, polite and calm. Often dealing with really drunk people but still calm, kind and gentle. I remember two police men - both 2 meters tall - taking care of an elderly drunk couple in an apartment somewhere in Helsinki, they were sooo sweet.

As a Finnish person, i can say that Polices in Finland, not use force or/and gun, if they don't need to, and always, they have to find first more calm, polite, etc. way to deal with things, if there is a chance to do so. Like, they have combat training, they have guns that can kill, etc. but they rarely use those, because they don't need to, because we know that, if we try to fight against police (for some reason), we gonna lose in the end, we want to deal things in calm way (raising your own blood pressure is not always good for your health), and resisting official authority is a crime in Finland. So it's like a team work, but there is always someones, that need to, put in a bundle, and get on the police car. But, reality is also that, that rarely, there has been police officers, that have done crime/crimes. On example, is this news article (in Finnish language), about one Finnish police officer: www.iltalehti.fi/uutiset/a/2014120418891279 . Title of this article in English is: The police threatened the young man with violence - he was fired. (You can copy news text to translater, and in text, there is this word "v***u", and that is Finnish swearword)

They just saw the hedgehog so they saved it. But it is illegal to abandon a pet in Finland so there should be no stray animals. So if people see a cat in the parking lot then it is a reason to call the police. Now we have a different organisation that handles animal rescues but that is quite resent. Also it is not a waste of their time if they don't have any other calls so why wouldn't they help animals? This is not New York you know. The police do have time when they don't have any calls.

In Lappeenranta my dog bite a hedgehog and when I called the emergency services there they just told me to take a piece of wood or a large rock and kill it and throw it far enough to not be seen from the walking path. I did it, but my hands were sore for the rest of the day and I was really upset. In Helsinki I only had to kill a small bird which was too badly hurt to be saved and even then they asked really carefully and said that I don't have to do it but for the animal rescue to arrive would take couple of hours so it would be better for the bird if I could.

This is 90% of Finnish police work, other 10% being drunk Finns getting stored in jail for a night.

I have to say. As a Finn we might seem like very serious people. But our humor can be pretty good if you are used to some dry or darker humor :) Also we are very tend to be very animal friendly so we do stop if there animal in need of help.

After checking the bird they concluded it was just a young bird that acted in a stupid manner (young crows can be really stupid & really bad flyers). The police told the people who had called it in that there was nothing to worry about. Once they reported this: "Last night there was not much to do, so the police spent a lot of time at the gym".

Most commonly police have to deal with the wild Finnish walruses laying on the streets, they mostly run into these wild beasts during the summer when it's warmer but finding them passed out in the snow is not that rare. Usually poking them awake and telling them to head home to sleep fixes the situation but sometimes they have to be taken to drunk tank to clear their heads over night. These walruses then in the morning get to make the walk of shame home, back to their partner's care.

Finnish police are good guys, let's keep them that way. You will know when they stop being funny O_o and you know at that point: You fucked up!!

Back in the days there were payazzo slot machine almost almost everywhere. The object in that is to get your coin to a slit to win the coins on that stack. They were refering to that when they talked about the slot machine. It is a common saying to say "pajatso näkyy" or "payazzo is visible" in english to refer to an ass crack. I am a bit embarrased to admit but when I was at school there was this boy whose ass crack was almost always visible. People bullied him by trying to throw small paper balls to his payazzo. Then ppl bragged by telling how many payazzos they had gotten. I think he might have been a bit autistic which makes me feel even worse about it but yeah, everytime I see a payazzo that pops to my mind.

Finland is so chill and kinda boring but chaotic at the same time like a weird alternate universe. I live in a pretty small city and while it does have its troubles (minor drug stuff and old drunkards/junkies getting into knife fights with each other) the crime rate is pretty low so the police usually aren't super tense. They have always been helpful and funny to me too, even when I've been a wee drunken menace in the summer myself. My friend calls them "spare dads". The beginning of summer and especially midsummer always comes with a pinch of extra chaos and it's sometimes hilarious to look at people going crazy after the long winter and do dumb drunk shit like the moving slot machine lol. Knowing both, Finns and the Irish have a weirdly similar vibe in how chill and funny they are.

My top 2 encounters with police: 1) I was delivering Morning paper, when I saw two officers assisted a guy who had his pants down into the van. The last thing I heard before entering the next apartment building was ”En oo ottanu mitään mömmöjä!”(I haven’t taken any drugs). My personal thoughts: ”Suuure.” 2) Mom got pulled over when we were driving home, because the saw her swerving on the road. They used breathalyzer to see if she was drunk. She wasn’t, just tired. Afterwards, they told her to Drive safely and we were on our way again. A little annoying that our return home and into bed was slowed down. Then again, nice to know that our officers take their jobs seriously.

Well, these are not the worst, but definetly more of the funniest "crimes" that police have to deal with. And yes, police do respond on cases of "stray" animals, because yes, vast majority of them do belong to somebody. On the other hand some animals really could cause a disasterous encounters and/or life endargements when entering among human traffic. For sure, that hedgehog could have easily ended up dying yes, but also puncturing a car tyres.

They get calls about pets/animals, because there are no lost pets in Finland. I once tried to search for abandoned dogs for adoption. Found 8 in the country of 5.5 million people. Not much crime either, so the police have to do the jobs that are available. I thing that might a resemble a reason for being one of the happiest countries on earth.

In finland abandoning an animal that is hurt or in trouble is illegal even if you didnt do anything to it so im not surprised if someone reported it to the police. Also they might have reported it into a non emergency line and the cops went to check it out just because thay had time.

We dont really have good resources when it comes to police force besides in big city (which is also debatable) Country side is usually much more quiet and less missions and in both cities and country side much of the calls are either drunken fights or domestic abuse calls It takes about 3-6 years for you to become a police. And we dont put people to jail easily, they are taught to de-escalate so everyone can go on their separate ways or drunk tank if need be Im in no way an expert on this matter so take this with a grain of salt

Norway Sweden and Finland are some of the safest countries. Police there has 'less to do' so to speak. My personal experience having spent some time in Sweden is this: You have like 3 big cities... Cities bigger than you usually find them in The Netherlands. Outside of those cities its all hills/mountains and forests and lakes. I took a train from Stockholm to Mora (a small city but one of the biggest in that region of Sweden). The sights out of the train were amazing. It was just nothing but nature. We'd stop and there would be a train station, at most 10 houses and then nothing but forest. A lot of the stops were like that. Outside of the bigger cities police in Sweden doesn't have 'much of a job'. Nobody gonna be a bad actor in the small towns. Of course there will be the exception etc but the Nordic countries are awesome. So it makes sense that they are also given animal related calls to handle. There'd be nothing to do otherwise is my guess.

This is a Finnish Tv show, that doesn't show what kind of people some of the cops are.

Well the crime rate is so low that if the police didn't get animal cases, they would get bored and start inventing crimes. Honestly it's a very good thing.

While obviosly police here do have important duties it does not exclude animals and other what people would consider to be minor and insignificant. The job can and is not limited to dealing with bike driven slot machines that is a old reference to a particular slot machine that took quaters. All around finnish police deal with a lot of calls that might not be related directly their job or purview.
