At police headquarters in Denmark, video games are part of the job.

Whether it's playing popular online games like Counter-Strike, checking out Twitch, Discord, Instagram, Facebook or even TikTok, the aim is to make the internet a safer place for children and adults.

Just like on the street, members of the patrol are visible online in their uniforms.

They hope this will encourage young people to talk to them about any problems as well as deter criminals.

Jeppe Rimer Torup is part of the online unit.

In addition to the 23,000 followers on Twitch, the online unit now has 127,000 followers on TikTok, 10,000 on Facebook and 6,000 on Instagram.

Whilst working online, they reach out to young people saying 'if you want to talk to us or ask questions - we're here'.

So far, they've received 5,200 tip-offs.

The unit was established in 2022 following a surge in online crime during the Covid pandemic.

Young people gaming and isolated from friends found themselves particularly vulnerable.
