The presentations included topics related to Community Policing strategy, best practices, analysis, implementation, as well as the Ethical, Legal, and Privacy issues resulting and were delivered by speakers from Police authorities, the Academia, Experts on Community Policing from the EU, the US, and Brazil, as well as Consortium members. During the two-day event, many detailed discussions were conducted in analyzing several aspects of Community Policing with respect to the vision and scope of the INSPEC2T project. Having a pan-European vision, INSPEC2T was widely accepted by the meeting experts to be a challenging and most promising project with respect to its societal and technological approach, on citizens’ awareness and engagement, with respect to Community Policing.
