Reaction To Funny Finnish Police Videos (Animals and Bicyclist) 

Finnish police officers are trained to get through even difficult situations with the help of psychology and speaking. Humor usually leads to a good result. The training lasts at least 3 years (3 months in the United States). Due to the excellent training, the Finnish police can get through many cases without violence. In Finland, the police is a friend you can always turn to. I am very proud of our police officers.

The biggest difference between American/Finnish police forces is in training: In Finland the basic police degree is a Bachelor’s degree, and it takes three years to complete the studies. In general, the police is a trusted institution in Finland, the police very rarely use firearms, it always makes headlines.

Police are very respected here in Finland. They are really well trained and can be trusted in general.

The finnish people and the police have a special relationship i think. My dad once got stranded at a gas station with a motorcycle with a leaky gas tube, some officers drove in to get some coffee from the gas station deli and my dad this 50-something year old average man-sized man came up to the cops and asked "hey you guys got a pocket knife? My bike is leaking and i need to fix it" and without hesitation the nice officers borrowed him their knife at a gas station parking lot like it was nothing. Because it was nothing. Just the police helping the public, it's literally their job. Edit: My other favourite story is from this same show. I remember an episode where some old lady called for a possible robbery at the attic of her apartment building where every person has their own storage space. Well the police go in and one of the locks is smashed, they go check in that storage unit to see two kids, a boy and a girl around 14 years of age cuddling under a blanket drinking red wine like a married couple. Apperently the boy had wanted to impress his new girlfriend by finding them a private space and getting a hold of some wine. They weren't even all that drunk nor were they breaking things other then the lock, it was almost like a movie date with no movie. The police see this and immidietly decide it's the cutest thing they've ever seen that the boy is trying to be like little romeo. They obviously take the wine from them, but don't yell at them, instead they kinda giggle about it as they call their parents like "yea your daughter was whisked away by some handsome guy on a wine date in someones attic lol", the kids get picked up, we don't hear much from the guy but then we cut to the police talking to the girls parents explaining the parents need to replace the lock but no other charges will be pressed, then they hear a thud and it turns out while they were talking the poor girl was so guyilty or traumatized or what have you that she jumped out the two story window, obviously it didn't kill her as it was only two stories and the rest of the episode was spent explaining no one is mad at her, the lock is no issue, that it's normal to rebel a bit at that age etc etc, ya know, instead of yelling at minors for breaking a lock and drinking wine. Because kids do stupid stuff and you need to educate, not punish outright. It was really cute honestly despite being traumatic the kids. This is the only real way to handle the brilliant ideas of rebelling minors.

Didn't know I needed a friendly Scotsman give me weekly reminders of how awesome my home country is but I'm all for it!

Cops in Finland are very respected and trusted. I've traveled all around the world and have learned that in many countries cops are the biggest criminals there is so i've learned to highly respect our police force.

In Finland is actually not easy to get into police academy and their education is pretty good too. Mostly really calm and nice personalities.

Personally being from Finland, I have no bad experiences with the police here. Best experience I had on a drinking trip with a friend in a new city. My friend had both of our wallets and phones in his backpack and decided in his drunken stupor to get a taxi back home 150km away, leaving me stranded. I spent the night sitting around the citys market square until the police pulled up and asked me how I was doing, told me it was supposed to be a subzero temperature night and that if I needed a place to sleep I could come to the station. I declined the invitation at first but after an hour or so I decided to go "ring their doorbell", they let me in with no hassle and I got to sleep until 11am the next morning. The only thing they apologized for was not having any breakfast left, because they though I needed the sleep instead 😁

I've never had anything but pleasant experiences with the police here in Finland. Here's a couple of them: One time as I was walking home from a bar at like, idk 4am, I stepped on a small pebble and twisted my ankle pretty badly. I was sitting on the side of the road to examine it and trying to decide if I could walk or if I should call a taxi. A police car drove by and they stopped to ask me if I was okay. Once I explained what happened and that I was okay, the offered me a ride home since it was a slow night for them. A few years prior to that I was walking my dog and two men approached me asking for my bag (not nicely). They were clearly on drugs and my dog sensed that as well, as they were not acting normal. He lunged at one of them, biting him on his shoe and they fled. I was really shook by it and my hands were shaking so badly that I dropped my phone a few times trying to call the police so I walked to a nearby pub and they called them for me. Once the police officers showed up, they proceeded to ask the bar staff if they had treats for my dog, since he was a hero. They also drove us home that night so we didn't have to walk back. They were joking the whole time that my dog missed his calling as a police dog. They were so calm and nice that it made me calm down as well and feeling secure by the time we got home. They made us comfortable. About a decade ago me and my then boyfriend were living in a small suburban area outside of town and we heard a knock on our door at around 11pm. I was a guy that had been stabbed in the leg, front of his upper thigh. He wasn't bleeding much, but he asked us to call help for him, since he didn't have a phone with him. He had a pyreneese dog with him, who we tied to where our dog usually was tied outside during the day. Nice pupper, so nice in fact that he just watched as his owner got attacked and didn't try to protect him (even though they are considered kind of a guard dog breed). When the police and ambulance showed up, they told us that the man was known to them from years of drug use and that this was likely due to him owing someone money or something. I had gotten blood on my hands applying pressure on his wound and they adviced me to go get tested for hep and hiv, etc. They were really calm and professional and kind to everyone there. The only thing was, they weren't comfortable taking the dog with them because he was so big. They asked us to house him for the night and so we exchanged information with the man who had gotten stabbed. The next morning I woke up with this big marshmallow licking my face, called the man to get directions to his house and returned his dog to him. He was very apologetic that he had bled on our plastic lawn chair lol. I talked with him for a while and he told me about his life and how he had gotten sober because the police he dealt with once had a long talk with him and asked him how he's gonna be a father to his daughter if he is dead. This police officer had such an impact on him because of their empathy, but also because they took the time to talk sense into him instead of just "dealing with him". I don't know if he stayed sober, we didn't have contact after that incident, but I really hope he did. And now I see this has become somewhat of a rambling story time so I'll wrap it up by saying that I have immense respect for our law enforcement here. No institution is without it's issues, but I do think the police here are well trained and act with human compassion, regardless of who they are dealing with.

As i've seen the Finnish police officers are very kind and understanding when needed, but also very tough and straight to the point when needed. Just like the police should be.

That half naked drunk bicyclist is probably the funniest event of that show ever.

This is what happens when police training is 3 years and not 6 months

Police are very well respected and people are generally positive towards them. They're here to help commonfolk and ensure everyone's safety. And while Finland is quite safe place to live, police doesn't have to be on the edge all the time. During festivals or events police are often just hanging around, talking and joking with people.

Finnish police officers are very highly trained. Bachelor of Engineering education (Three years), on top of that, very demanding psychological tests, which many of the candidates will not pass. Their main weapons are situational awareness and conversation. Officers carry guns in the field, but not on their hips. Or anywhere, where it can be seen. Weapons are hidden in order not to provoke anyone. So they pack heat, but do not show it. Officers are usually relaxed and friendly, but can turn very serious in an instant, if things get dangerous. 99.9999% of the time, they handle the situations with just being friendly and relaxed. It's very rare for Finnish police officer to use a gun. Very rare. And if they use a gun - even if they just fire a warning shot - it always leads to an investigation, in order to determine if it was actually necessary. So, basically you can think of Finnish police officers as friendly negotiators.

Oulu isn't far from the arctic circle, so it's basically as light as that whole summer.

They are nice. When I was a student and moved to my first apartment, I once was half passed out in front of the outside door. They just stopped there and asked "Why are you sitting here" "I live here. I can't get in" "Do you have your keys?" "Yeah" "How about trying them on the door" "Oh right, thanks". Door lock was timed, so it was locked at night. Drunken me had not yet experienced that, so I simply didn't realize to use my keys...

Hi there! Yes, that clip is funny! The chap was just biking home way up near the town of Oulu in northern Finland. The police got him off from the main road and onto a bicycle lane, so that he wouldn't be a danger to other trafic, but as you can see, there was no other trafic to speak of. It was probably in the middle of the night, but since it was summertime and Oulu is located in the North, it was typically light, as it is all night long up there... The Finnish police are well trained and usually respected. They're taught to defuse any aggressive situation and not to escalate them by being aggressive themselves. Today, there are quite a few women in the police force, as well. Unfortunately, we've recently seen examples of bad police work here in Finland, too. But private security guards have turned out to be much worse. I don't know how they are chosen and trained, but I suspect that that occupation draws another kind of people than the police, who are thoroughly tested as far as their personality is concerned and their suitability for the job. For us Swedish-speaking Finlanders there is unfortunately a problem as far as the police and the entire legal profession is concerned and that is that nowadays very few policemen speak Swedish. Luckily, we usually speak Finnish as well, but in an emergency it's not always a given that we can express ourselves in what to us is a foreign language. With the open borders after the Schengen border in the EU, organised foreign criminal groups etc. have increased the case burden of the Finnish police, so that now, the resources of the police and the efficiency of the police have diminished. On the whole, the Finnish police have a good reputation. We can see the same phenomenon being repeated all over the world, that is, that the police are slowly becoming more aggressive and less calm than they were before. So far, this is only true for a few members of the police corps, and I sincerely hope that the Finnish police will remain calm, collected and pragmatic.

A Swedish policeman I knew was really very impressed by the Finnish police and he envied them for the good relation between the people and the police

I trust the Finnish police force with my life. I know they wouldn't abuse their power, even in dangerous situations. Every policeman/woman here actually has to file a proper report in the very rare case that he/she would have to fire a gun.

Btw the patrol leader used to lead group Valo, special SWAT unit in Oulu, even when filming this. Group VALO won SWAT team world championships under his command. Greetings to Tommi if you see this comment. We have reasons to be proud of our police forces 👍

I have had few encounters with police due to my work in home healthcare (mostly old people). Once in a while our clients kick the bucket and if it happens unexpectedly (meaning that they are not in direct hospice care) we'll contact police just in case to cover our butts. And only once I have heard something that was not fully professional. I was called to near by elderly houses where one of the people living there was found dead on the front yard. I stated CPR and soon ambulance arrived and they continued. one of the things they do is put intubation tube in to ensure that air flows freely. Well the woman was beyond help (If I remember correctly she had major brain damage due to multiple mini strokes). Anyway naturally police arrived to take photos of the scene and handle things. One of the cops didn't think clearly when trying to diffuse the situation and said: Foreign object in throat, cause of death solved. I have never seen anyone go pale as fast as the other police. They went inside police car and soon the first cop comes out and says that he is sorry especially if family of the deceast are present. Luckily they weren't. I stayed there incase they needed more info. The first police did ask do I need grief counceling. I said no thank you. Not my first dead person and that his comment did make me smirk, but do be more careful in the future.

Finnish police is very capable and respected, and they are very humane, just people and individuals like everyone else. That is why I love Finnish society, that we can have this type of thing.

Finnish Police are very human

out of all police officers they follow in this show the ones from Kuopio are by the far funniest (small dog running from police clip)

I think that we finns are lucky because we can trust our police.❤

If you find that "Poliisit" -show to watch I highly suggest, it´s a very good show! The deal in the show is to view typical shifts of the units, and the unit rotates from where it is in each episode. There you can also see that Polices around Helsinki (capital) are more serious (they have to deal more with mentally hard shit and have shorter temper) whereas that dog-dealing team from more northern part of Finland is one of the most relaxed in the show. All are very professional and efficient in their work, despite the differences

The times I have seen or talked to police, they have always been really nice. It has always seemed that they really try handle situations as well as they can. They are well respected and for good reason. People who complain about the Finnish police are usually people who get speed and parking tickets often

All my encounters with the finnish police are in line with this video. All very professional and humane, often also with great sense of humour.

Finland is built on trust! You can trust that the police is there to help YOU! Not to protect the money or power,but you.

Got to love the Finnish po-po. Don't think that they don't have authority. They're tough when they need to be.

Finnish officer training is quite long (3years) and they have good social skills as you can see. The US style where you don't speak to the police doesn't work here, since if you refuse to talk you immediately seem suspicious. Police have a lot of respect by almost all people due to the fact that they can keep it calm non-violence way even in real life-threathening situations.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Half Norwegian, half Finnish born over here. This is not totally strange to me. The bicycle scene is a classic.

That cyclist would probably have crashed if he would have stopped or slowed down, the momentum was helping his balance

it is mostly accurate but obviously the cops they pick for this show is probably some of the nicer ones. if you read about finnish cop called "jari aarnio" you will quickly realize that there can be atleast some corruption but i can't remember anything much worse than that off the top of my head.

As a finn I trust police more than myself if I happen to be in drunken condition :)

Finland is such an amazing country...

Naked drunk basiclists are very common in Finland.

I personally highly respect finnish police. I tend to call them whenever someone is in distress or something wrong happens. There was one incident, where a young man barely eighteen was trying to reach out girl he knew and travelled all across the country to be there at night. As it was part of house rules not to let in strangers from the first floor doors, it is exception when policemen request for entry. I've never seen a single policeman do a deed that would seem unfair in any way.

As a finn, the police speak to you like they know you as a friend or atleast thats what it feels like😂

Our Police is great.

Love your content, kiitos!

Maybe it varies a bit depending on what parts of the country you live, but in my own experience around my areas, most of the time the cops dont even gotta do anything except just show up, and more often than not that alone will defuse whatever situation was going on. Maybe at most a "so I heard you were doing stupid shit. lets maybe not continue doing stupid shit, yeah? good". They carry that much of an authoritative, yet still strangely human, air with em. And honestly that's good. You don't want to give them a reason to put you in check much less a full on subdue, cause boy howdy will they. And they won't even break a sweat or need a gun or baton to do it.

son-in-law material ! Imagine that. They definitely saw the funny side.

I've seen many American cop videos where they struggle to cuff someone and put them in the back of the car. In those vans, the cops have a small cell at the back and they don't bother to ensure they are belted in. Mostly that cell transports drunken souls back home when they are causing a nuisance in town. At least that is what I see when the worst offending is usually bad language from the seriously inebriated.

Finnish police(Poliisi) is best

They cancelled the show because the tv company workers could overhear the clients information (we have very strict privacy laws in Europe).

I from finland🇫🇮

I have only good experince with our Finnish polices. They have good sence off humour and they are only normal humans.

The funny thing is, even if they get something actually serrious or big on camera, like a shooting they probably wont show it :D its not like america where you can request to get bodycam footage etc.

i have had 2 encounters with the cops in my life and i do have to say both times have been good. first time i was hit by a car and the second time was two days ago when they where asking for 3 teens who where throwing and axe. I feel like in Finland the cops are quite good and definitely respected. i might be wrong but im pretty sure in the show these smaller things are real but the bigger crimes at the end of the episodes are basically just acting out a real crime that happened before with all of the names changed

Thank's 👍

Every jobs got assholes,but as finn,i trust Army and Police.

Im sorry to make a comment against the popular belief but i had a very unpleasant encounter with finnish police. It was 10pm and i was walking home from a store. I was stopped by police and they suspected i was someone they got a call about. I had literally no idea what was going on and all i could say was that. They asked for my social security number and because it was a weird situation it took me around 5 seconds to remember. I got insulted because "an adult who doesn't know their social security mumber is pathetic" i knew it. It just took me 5 seconds. They really didn't believe i wasn't the person they were looking for but they had no proof so they just ended up being very rude to me. To this day i have no idea what was going on and what was the reason they stopped me

I don't have much experience with the police. but the ones I've seen have been really nice. a lot depends on your own attitude. i think :)

Not all police are good, that is why there are disciplinary cases that make the news but taking into account how well trained and evaluated they are those cases are rare. It also shows that we take seriously any inappropriate behaviour by the police. I can't think of a country where the police is as respected and trusted as in finland.

Look at the Finnish police motorcycle chase for some action.

Our gun laws in finland is very very strong, you can get a hunting rifle easier than a pistol, and even the hunting rifle is difficult to get, here is drama sometimes, but because there no guns, it's no drama really here, cause police don't need precaution for guns every time. In US they always have to make sure that there is no gun on the suspect. And also training is different

I can almost see scene american cops shooting hedgehog 🤣

The show is like the cops show from the US. And yeah police is resppected in Finland, maybe because they are professional and not balls to the wall rambo-policing ;)

2:04 Lol

I worked in am approved school and one of the youngsters brought there a prisoner on the run with him. The policemen who came were not precisely hilarious and they did not came bare handed.

The Finnish Doctors do not like the Finnish police officers. I do know some!!

them cops gave me a speeding ticket...otherwise they are no problem 😎

The cops are pretty good, but the people are also sheep. If someone stands up for his rights, its seen as an admission of guilt. Cops have permission to search your home by just asking another cop permission. Where theres power, theres abuse of power.

The cat stole my user name

Ei pysty!

🤣🤣😂

And this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YoG1_QuiVjQ.html 😂 we love our police ❤

The Duo with runaway dog was the peak of the series while they were on it, Kuopion Polliisit. Hope there is a clip where they encounter a couple having sex and other with a guy who drinks blood. I think the the show is now cancelled because of gdpr issues.

There was a guy shooting around and even shot at the police with a machine gun. They just went there and shot one shot to the guys leg and took him away. 0 deaths, no harm done. I don't particularly like the police but I've got to admit that was some serious professionalism.

Only ever have had bad encounters with the Finnish police. Not the worst police in the world, but they could do so much better.

Torille!

The reasons are very simple, why The US cops are, lets say, not The sharpest tools In The tools box😮😢No training, 4 month is The average Police training In The US. Compared like To most EU countries, 3-4 years. 18 000 different Police forces. Different rules, practices, policies, training, mentality... No standards and lack of co-operation. The Blue Wall!!

The police, are they respeced, yes!

1:02 That is hedgehog, and i just find out that, these small little cute hedgehogs, eat also snakes (how in a hell ?)..... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedgehog#Diet
