In some ways, your impression of Finland as a freezing wilderness is accurate. The Finns are sturdy people who aren’t frightened of a little cold, yet the country of Finland isn’t exactly a wasteland. The Finnish people and their fascinating history will win the hearts of any visitor, but as these photos show, everyday life in Finland must be exciting!

For starters, they deal with environmental offenses, as well as press, PR, and public appearances for law enforcement.
