Police superintendent Lone Strand has been a police for over 20 years, and all this time she has worked with crime prevention. The first 18 years with youngsters in the east of Oslo, in a multicultural area with various challenges. For the last three years at the National Cybercrime Center, in the Section for Online police presence. Her task is to see how the Norwegian police can have a preventative online presence, and also support and coordinate the online police patrols. Sha has a masters degree from the police academy, and her master’s thesis was about community policing on the internet

The Norwegian police have 12 police districts, and all of them have their own “Nettpatrulje”. The online police are present on social medias, patrolling the internet and gaming with kids. The purpose is being visible and available for the public, and building trust in the police. Lone will talk about experiences from the Norwegian online police, and hopefully inspire more grown ups to be present and available for our kids on the internet.
