Popis: This chapter explores a selection of Community Policing (CP) case studies in Europe and a proposed social media based approach. The selected case studies were carefully chosen to highlight the need of transformation and evolution of adapted successful models to fulfil the unique local context characteristics. The need for continuous change of existing CP schemas is sourced on both citizens’ and police’s varying needs, new challenges, modern police roles, responsibilities and duties. The digital transformation of the police and community engagement is presented using a selection of test cases from England, while the latest development of police being in social media and using them to reach communities is presented using the funded EU research project INSPEC2T trialled in selected European cities.
