Pelipoliisi / The Gaming Police – Policing in the Digital World
Please note that the event will be conducted in Finnish. The presentation offers a glimpse into the everyday work of Pelipoliisi. How do police officers engage with people online? What kinds of phenomena are currently emerging in digital environments, and how can crime and other harmful behaviour be prevented online? We will also explore how trust in the police can be built in entirely new environments, and how people encountered online can, when needed, be guided towards other services and multidisciplinary support.
What kind of skills does this type of work require? Pelipoliisi brings together policing, technology, gaming, communication, social media and, above all, genuine interaction with people.
So, can a police officer also be a streamer? Absolutely. Come and find out what happens when policing moves into the spaces where our digital lives are taking place.
