Swedish police are now patrolling within game worlds, aiming to connect with young people where they are. This initiative, described as a "digital police car," expands the police's online presence into gaming environments like the recent Dreamhack festival. The goal is to lower barriers for youth to contact law enforcement. Inspired by Denmark and Norway, this effort seeks to address issues such as grooming and radicalization within games, offering secure chat channels for intervention.
