The PRECRISIS project team conducted ten online meetings to explore incident management systems. The sessions, organised by the Bavarian Police University (HföD) with support by the European Institute Foundation (EI), brought together a diverse range of participants, including LEAs, surveillance experts and citizens.
The objective was to foster collaborative dialogue and knowledge exchange. The webinar series provided a comprehensive platform for learning, collaboration, and the development of integrative approaches to safeguarding public spaces in a rapidly changing security landscape.
These discussions focused specifically on the application of multi-stakeholder approaches in identifying the most effective and context-appropriate solutions for the protection of public spaces.
Throughout the webinars, experts presented the most up-to-date information on emerging and evolving threats to public space safety, highlighting real-world scenarios and case studies. In addition, innovative technological and procedural solutions were demonstrated, offering practical tools and strategies to enhance the resilience of public environments.
The discussions also addressed the legal and regulatory framework relevant to the implementation of these solutions. Special attention was given to ethical considerations, such as privacy, data protection, and the potential societal impacts of surveillance and security technologies. These critical reflections ensured that the measures, proposed by the PRECRISIS team, align with fundamental rights and democratic values.
