“It was needed because we saw that a lot of the children are actually online most of the time – 99 per cent of the kids in Denmark are using social media or gaming platforms on a daily basis.

This is actually brilliant. Meeting kids where they are—in the digital world—is a smart and proactive move. It’s not just about catching criminals, it’s about building trust and showing presence where it matters most today. Denmark may be onto something powerful here.

Definitely an interesting idea, and great if you are selected for it as a cop! maybe if it's successful, other countries will roll out something similar
