The Finnish Border Guard has deployed a support detachment to Latvia to assist in border security. This deployment was initiated in response to a request from the Latvian Border Guard due to increased illegal border crossings towards summer. The Finnish support unit initially sent two weeks ago has been expanded to ten personnel. The support patrols conduct border security tasks similar to those performed in Finland. This support continues until June 14, 2026. The deployment is based on cooperation agreements between Finnish and Latvian Border Guards and the Prüm Decision, which allows short-term support in member states during disturbances. Finnish personnel also operate in Europe under Frontex deployments, supporting host nations' border security and enhancing their skills and situational awareness of Europe's border security. Finland likewise hosts Frontex personnel supporting its border operations.
