GLOSTRUP, Denmark: At Denmark’s police headquarters, officers have been glued to their computers playing the popular video game Counter-Strike. But they weren’t kicking back on a break – they were tracking crimes on the Internet.

In addition to getting paid to game, the online patrol unit is on Twitch, Discord, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, openly letting their presence be known with the aim of making the Internet a safer place for both children and adults.
