Call the emergency number yourself if you can

It is important to make the emergency call yourself, if the matter concerns you. The victim has more knowledge on the situation, based on which the dispatcher can send help accordingly. Using middle-men to make the call can delay getting the right kind of help on site.

Tell what happened

The emergency centre dispatcher will ask the caller about what happened so that they can send the appropriate assistance.

Give the exact address and municipality

The emergency centre might have several same addresses in different municipalities/cities in its service area. Therefore it is also important to know the name of the town/city/municipality where the accident has taken place.

Answer the questions that are asked of you

The questions asked by the dispatcher are important. They do not delay alarming for help. In urgent cases the dispatcher already alerts the authorities and other partners during the call, and gives them more information on what has happened.

Act according to the information given to you

The dispatcher is trained to give instructions in various types of situations. It is important to follow the given instructions. Correct initial actions often play an important role in the end result.

End the call only after you're given permission to do so.

Ending the call too soon may delay the help from arriving. After you are given the permission to end the call, end it. Keep the phone line open. The dispatcher or the help on its way may need additional information on what has happened.

Capture in a shoplifting/theft situation.

When you detect a theft, get further help immediately if possible.

• Do not speak to the person inside the shop, but follow them with your eyes.
  • Shoplifting/theft has not happened before the suspect has passed the checkout counters without paying for the product.
• Address the person after they have passed the checkout counters, but do not accuse them of anything and remain calm.
  • Provocation may lead to conflict. Do not make threats, false promises or call the person a "thief", for example. Remember to keep a safe distance.
• Do not let the person leave or throw the item away, but ask them to step aside to clarify the matter.
  • Observe especially the place (pocket, bag, etc.) where the person has put the stolen item. When you take the person aside, it is easier to observe him/her and other business can continue with no disturbances. Remember your own safety!
• Report the matter immediately to the police by calling 112.
  • According to legislation, those who have been caught in the act of shoplifting must be immediately turned over to the police.

The person shall receive a fine for shoplifting/theft (penalty) or the matter shall be processed in court (theft). In the event that the stolen item is not retrieved in original condition, or other property has been damaged, a demand for compensation can be made (the police will inquire these issues from you). When recording these demands, the police will also want to know where the person took the item, where he/she put it (whether he/she detached possible alarm devices etc.) and where the person was caught. The witnesses and possible camera recordings should also be mentioned when turning over the suspect.

Robbery

The situation is a robbery if the person uses violence or threatens with violence in order to take your possessions. The robbery may also be armed (knife, gun, etc.)

During robbery

• Remain calm, obey the robber
  • Panicking or resistance may escalate into violence. Also remember the safety of others present.
• Act with delay. Provide the robber with products or money in order of value — from the smallest to the biggest. Also include recognisable products or marked banknotes.
  • Delaying gives time for help to arrive and for catching the robber on location. In the event that the robber is interrupted, the loot shall remain small. Recognisability will help track the robber in the event that he/she is not immediately caught.
• Remember the robber's characteristics, style of speech and direction of escape.
  • When you act calmly, these issues are easier to remember after the situation. Eye-witnesses shall also be interviewed for their observations.

After the robbery

• In the event that you have not yet called for help, notify the police immediately by calling 112.
• Close the shop, do not let new people enter, ask witnesses to remain on location if possible.
  • In the event that eye-witnesses wish to leave, ask for their contact information. You can give eye-witnesses pen and paper and ask them to write down the robber's characteristics. This will stop them from talking with each other and calms them down.
• Estimate the value of the loot. Tell the police all the information you have when they arrive and act according to their instructions.
  • Remember that without permission by the police, you are not allowed to give statements to the press etc. Your supervisor will make the decision to inform other parties.
