The Danish Structure

The responsibility of executing national border security lies with the police. There is no national Border Guard Service. On the maritime borders, the police use vessels from the Royal Danish Navy as platform. The police have special trained maritime interception teams in all 12 districts.

The responsibility for surveillance of the Danish territorial water, i.e. the area within the territorial limit, is placed under the Royal Danish Navy, who is responsible for the radar surveillance as well. Under their command is also a fleet of Home Guard vessels consisting of more than 20 flotillas.

The Finnish Border Guard is under the Ministry of Interior. The Finnish Border Guard operates in the areas of internal and external security, and is part of the European border and coast guard system. The Finnish Border Guard operates on land, at sea and in the air, even in difficult conditions. The organizational structure includes four Border Guard Districts, two Coast Guard Districts as well as Air Patrol Squadron, Border and Coast Guard Academy and HQ.

Border Surveillance

The purpose of border surveillance is to maintain security and public order at land and sea borders. It seeks to prevent and investigate unauthorized border crossings, monitor territorial integrity and carry out other statutory tasks. The focus is on the external border of the Schengen area.

Border checks

The Finnish Border Guard is the main authority responsible for conducting border checks at border crossing points. Border checks refer to checks performed for the purpose of ensuring that persons, including their means of transport and the objects in their possession, may legally enter or leave the country. Border checks are carried out at the border crossing points or, if there are grounds for doing so, on a vehicle used for public transportation or in some other place.

Crime prevention

The Finnish Border Guard seeks to prevent, expose and investigate severe cross-border crimes in collaboration with other law enforcement authorities in Finland (the Police and Customs). It conducts the preliminary investigation into incidents that fall within its jurisdiction, such as the facilitation of illegal entry and human trafficking, state border offences, forgeries, drunk driving on land or water, or fishing and hunting offences. The Finnish Border Guard contributes actively to maritime environmental protection by leading the monitoring of oil spills from vessels in sea regions and conducting a preliminary investigation into maritime environmental crimes.

Maritime search and rescue

The Finnish Border Guard is the leading national authority in maritime search and rescue (SAR) operations as well as those related to the prevention of maritime environmental damage on the open sea. The Finnish Border Guard is also tasked with the surveillance of maritime areas and waterborne traffic.

Maritime environmental protection

The Baltic Sea has traffic volumes that are among the highest worldwide and the risk of a major oil or chemical accident is constantly present. In case of an accident, the damage caused to the vulnerable ecosystems, the residents of the coastal areas and the business and trade within the Baltic Sea region would be disastrous with long-term consequences. If an oil spill from a vessel occurs at open sea within the economic zone or territorial waters of Finland, the Finnish Board Guard is responsible for leading the oil response operation and assigns a commander for the operation.

International cooperation

International cooperation is vital for Finland’s border security. Bilateral and multilateral connections are maintained both with EU Member States and third countries. The Finnish Border Guard participates multilateral cooperation for example in the Baltic Sea region (BSRBCC).

Norwegian Police

The model for border security in Norway is based on the police having overall responsibility for performing checks on persons at border-crossing points and for ensuring that the surveillance of border sections is carried out. For this task the police have the assistance of military units, both at the land border with Russia and at the outer maritime border. Police carry out control in areas near the border in the territory.

Military units and the Coast Guard assist the police with the performance of surveillance tasks on both land and sea borders. The Customs Service must also be mentioned as responsible for controls of goods at border crossings. The Customs Service also assists the police with checks on persons in cases where this is possible and appropriate at the border-crossing points.
