Community of Practice (CoP)

The BTL-COP Community of Practice (CoP) brings together police authorities, community organisations, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to support ongoing dialogue, learning, and collaboration around trust-based policing and community engagement.

The CoP is designed as a living space for exchanging knowledge, sharing experiences from pilots, and connecting stakeholders working to prevent poverty-fuelled and aporophobia-related crime across Europe.

Through the CoP, BTL-COP aims to:

  • Foster cross-sector collaboration between police, communities, and civil society
  • Support peer learning and capacity building
  • Share practical insights, tools, and emerging lessons from the project
  • Strengthen sustainable networks beyond the project’s lifetime
