Ministry of the Interior has launched preparation of Government Report on Internal Security
A new Government Report on Internal Security will be drawn up under the direction of the Ministry of the Interior. The report is due to be submitted to Parliament during the autumn session in 2025.
The plan to draw up of a Government Report on Internal Security during this parliamentary term was set out in the current Government Programme. Together with the Government Report on Finnish Foreign and Security Policy and the Government Report on Defence Policy, which are already in the final stages of preparation, it will belong to a set of three reports. Parliament has considered it important that these reports form a coherent whole and emphasised the importance of the authorities' shared situation picture.
The previous Government Report on Internal Security was published in 2021. Since then, Finland's security environment has changed significantly. The new report will focus on the key issues of internal security.
The report seeks to describe the current state of internal security in Finland and the authorities' requirements for maintaining security. The report will also assess development needs that will become relevant in the coming years in terms of resources, legislation and preparedness.
To draft the report, the Ministry has set up three working groups whose term of office will end on 30 September 2025. The working group members include representatives of the security authorities and the ministries.
