SAFE-CITIES Participatory Model Training Module: Promoting engagement of citizens and stakeholders in security analysis and planning

OBJECTIVE

This 2-hour training introduces the SAFE-CITIES Participatory Model (SCPM)—a practical framework that helps public authorities, law enforcement, and first responders to engage citizens and stakeholders in public space security analysis and planning. Through a hands-on, learning-by-doing approach, participants will gain the knowledge and tools to foster more inclusive, trusted, and effective security strategies.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This training is designed for:

  • Public Authorities involved in urban safety and planning.
  • Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) and first responders.
  • Local stakeholders seeking to strengthen citizen engagement.

It is especially suited for those aiming to implement Local Citizens Networks (LCNs) and community-based processes for security analysis and planning across European cities.

STRUCTURE & CONTENT

The module is built around three key operational phases of SCPM:

  1. Assessment – Analyse vulnerabilities and map your local security ecosystem.
  2. Contextualisation – Establish Local Citizens Networks (LCNs) and plan stakeholder engagement.
  3. Implementation – Launch participatory actions and embed SCPM in local governance.

What’s included: Comprehensive training handbook, visual presentation slides, practical templates and tools, real-life case study, interactive exercises.
Format and delivery: 2 hours of training, available for in-person or online delivery.
