Law enforcement in Finland is the responsibility of several agencies. The Police (Finnish: ''poliisi'', Swedish: ''polisen''), a national police agency, is responsible for most tasks.〔(Finnish Police official in English. ) Retrieved 5 Sep 2007〕 The two other main agencies are the Border Guard (Finnish: ''rajavartiolaitos'', Swedish: ''gränsbevakningsväsendet'') and the customs service (Finnish: ''tulli'', Swedish: ''tull''). Other agencies with limited police powers are the Finnish Defence Forces, municipal parking inspectors, and some railway staff. The Police are divided into eleven regional police services and two national services. The national agencies are the Central Criminal Police ((フィンランド語:keskusrikospoliisi, KRP)), which is a national investigation unit〔(KRP official in English ) Retrieved 14 May 2007〕 and the Finnish Security Intelligence Service (Finnish: ''suojelupoliisi'', Swedish: ''skyddspolisen'') which specializes in "the prevention of security threats of the State,"〔(Supo official in English ) Retrieved 5 Sep 2007〕 such as counterintelligence and terrorism. ==Local police departments== The national police is the only police agency in Finland. The police is divided into police departments, which encompass the area of multiple municipalities or cities; municipalities do not have police forces of their own. The function of each district police department is to maintain general law and order, prevent crime, investigate crime and other events that threaten public order and safety, to carry out traffic control and surveillance and promote traffic safety, and perform all other duties prescribed by law or otherwise assigned to the police in their area. Local police departments are organized into uniformed patrol police (''järjestyspoliisi'', literally "order police") and criminal investigation police (''rikospoliisi'', literally "criminal police"). Local police also processes licenses and permits such as gun licenses, national ID cards and passports, and furthermore, enforces immigration decisions by the Finnish Immigration Service. Local police is must also be notified when organizing public events that may significantly influence local public security and traffic. Driving licenses have been issued by the local police, but from 2016, driving licenses will be issud by Trafi (Finnish Transport Safety Agency).〔https://www.poliisi.fi/ajokortti〕 Alarm services are operated by Emergency Response Centres managed by the Ministry of the Interior in cooperation with the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health.〔http://www.hatakeskus.fi/index.php?pageName=administration〕 The National Traffic Police (''Liikkuva poliisi'', literally "Mobile Police") was folded into the local police in 2013, thus local police is also responsible for highway patrol. Originally, local police districts were very small and had limited resources, so a separate mobile police organization was founded for riot control, alcohol law enforcement and reserve force duties, later evolving into a highway patrol. However, because of mergers, local police departments had become larger. Thus, the separate national organization was deemed redundant and traffic police units were subordinated to the local police departments instead, without change in the actual number of highway patrol officers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Law enforcement in Finland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
