provided that the police is immediately informed of an incident. In practice, nuclear security guards are equipped with firearms such as shotguns and submachine guns, which is not generally permitted for private security guards. Nuclear security guards are employed either by a security company or the power company itself. Municipal parking inspectors, train conductors and ticket inspectors, and games and fishing inspectors have limited police powers. The Ministry of the Interior has the authority to grant police powers to any person for a specific task and to the degree necessary. Voluntary support The Police of Finland is supported by two voluntary organisations: Vapepa, the voluntary rescue service (), and the SRVA, the assistance organisation for large game situations (). Neither organisation uses police powers during assistance missions. The most typical support mission for the Vapepa is a search mission. The organisation is composed of volunteers trained in the search of missing persons, who can be alerted by the local police for a search with a reasonably short response time. For example, in a recent case, the person was reported missing at 4 PM, the Vapepa search operation started with 42 volunteers at 7 PM, and continued at 7 AM the following morning, after being stopped at 4 AM, with more than 100 volunteers. In addition, the Vapepa may support police in communications or first-response logistics and psychological care. The SRVA is a voluntary activity organised by the semi-governmental hunting district associations (). The SRVA personnel are experienced hunters trained for police assistance, and they provide hounds and armed hunters to track and euthanise large game that has been wounded in a traffic accident or that police has decided to euthanise to prevent danger to human safety.
