As many as 92 per cent of people trust the police a lot or a fair amount, according to a survey. The latest Police Barometer survey also showed that around 85 per cent of the respondents considered that the police treat people with respect often or very often, while around 76 per cent considered that the police make fair and impartial decisions often or very often, said Ministry of the Interior in a press release on Friday. Trust in police activities is rather uniform across Finland. Trust is highest in Southwest Finland (around 95%) and Western Uusimaa (94%) and lowest in Eastern Finland (89%). There are no major differences in trust between different age groups or genders. However, trust seems to grow somewhat with age. Around 94 per cent of pensioners trust the police. Low-income and unemployed people trust the police less than others. In addition to the police, Finns also trust other security authorities, such as the fire and rescue authorities. Trust in the activities of the emergency response centres and the Finnish Defence Forces is also high. The Police Barometer also measures the respondents' concern over different criminal phenomena. In the 2024 barometer, questions regarding offences committed by young people, organised crime, gang crime and fraud offences were added to the survey. Other criminal phenomena examined in the survey include assaults, sexual harassment, terrorism and hate crimes. Around 84 per cent of the respondents were concerned about offences committed by young people, 73 per cent about offences committed with a firearm, 76 per cent about drug abuse and drug dealing in public places, and 73 per cent about organised crime and gang crime. The least concern was expressed over house burglaries (46%). The Police Barometer also examines how serious the respondents feel the crime situation is in their neighbourhood. Approximately 72 per cent of the respondents did not consider the crime situation in their neighbourhood too serious. Around one in four respondents considered the situation fairly serious. The situation in Eastern Uusimaa differs from the other areas. As many as 34 per cent of the respondents living in the area considered the crime situation in their neighbourhood fairly or very serious. In Ostrobothnia, in contrast, only 16 per cent of the respondents considered that crime is a fairly or very serious problem in their neighbourhood. Respondents were of the opinion that the police should be more visible in the daily lives of people than at present. According to respondents, greater police visibility would increase both the sense of security and actual security. In addition to police visibility, traffic surveillance and the investigation of violent and narcotics offences were now considered more important than before.

About 3,000 students will have to wait to get housing benefit for September, said the national social insurance institution- Kela in a press release on Thursday. Kela received a large number of applications for the housing supplement for students due to recent changes in the housing benefits resulting the delay. Most of these students will be paid their benefits by 3 September at the latest and Kela apologised for the delay. The processing times of applications for student financial aid and the housing supplement for students continue to be longer than usual at Kela. The majority of new and returning higher education students have been granted the study grant and the government loan guarantee. These funds can be used as a stopgap measure to cover housing costs at the beginning of the academic term. In addition, returning higher education students have been able to draw down their student loan funds since 1 August 2025, said Kela. “Both new and returning students who have already received a decision on their study grant and loan guarantee can use these funds as a stopgap measure in September. Students who have not yet received a decision on their student housing supplement will receive one by mid-September at the latest,” said Marianne Schauman-Lindberg, Head of the Centre for Student Benefits of Kela. As of 27 August, about 47,000 applications for student financial aid submitted by higher education students were being processed at Kela. According to Kela, this situation is better than the situation of 7 August, when 82,000 applications were waiting in queue for processing. It is currently taking Kela over 14 days to process applications submitted by higher education students. Schauman-Lindberg, however, said that the situation will return to normal next week.
Prime Minister Petteri Orpo on Friday called attention to the special needs arising from Finlands long land border with Russia. The Premier held a meeting with President of the European Commission (EC) Ursula von der Leyen in Helsinki and led discussions on European security, Finlands role as a country on the external border of the EU and efforts to strengthen the EUs defence, said an official press release. The meeting was held on the Border Guard patrol vessel Turva off the coast of Helsinki. In the discussion, Orpo also highlighted Finlands active contributions to supporting Ukraine. The EC President made the visit as a part of her tour of the countries on the eastern border of the EU. “This understanding can be seen in the Commissions proposal for the EUs next multiannual financial framework. The funding allocated to Finland for border control is being increased to EUR 1.6 billion, which is one billion more than at present,” “It is precisely this funding that we can use to support the vitality of Eastern and Northern Finland, as this is also a key component of our comprehensive security strategy and the security of our border regions,” said Orpo. He said that the threat posed by Russia will not disappear even after the war in Ukraine is over. “Putin cannot be trusted. Russia has already moved troops towards the eastern edge of Europe. Europe must respond to this and act with unity and determination to show that we take European defence seriously,” he added. During the visit, von der Leyen was also briefed on how Finland monitors maritime traffic, including the movements of the Russian “shadow fleet”. The EC President also met with President Alexander Stubb during her visit to Helsinki.
