The consolidation of public safety strategies based on closer ties between police institutions and the community has proven to be an effective approach to preventing urban crime. With the advancement of emerging technologies, such as data analysis, smart cameras, real-time monitoring, and digital platforms, the potential of preventive policing practices is expanding. This article discusses the integration between community policing and innovative technologies, analyzing how these resources strengthen decision-making, improve communication between the police and the population, and contribute to crime reduction. Through theoretical review and analysis of experiences applied in different urban contexts, it argues that the synergy between collaborative practices and technological tools enables more efficient, transparent, and participatory security models. It concludes that the strategic adoption of these instruments must be accompanied by governance policies, ethical principles, and citizen participation to guarantee their legitimacy and effectiveness.
