    "abstract": "In the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, police schools were closed and all students were sent home. Police training abruptly shifted to distance learning, how could recruits' engagement be maintained through remote-only learning? We will present the results of a study about online police initial training developed during the lockdown. The study was carried out in June 2020 in the Police Academy of Catalonia, Spain. At the end of the lockdown, an online survey was conducted (N=1412) and face-to-face semi-structured interviews (N=4) were run to gather recruits' views and level of satisfaction on the training.  \r\n\r\nThe results of the study show that the most effective strategies to keep police students engaged were the use of motivational short videos and frequent communication and bonding with a police instructor appointed as tutor for each group of students. These strategies reinforced a feeling of belonging to a community and that they were not alone despite being isolated at home, helping them to overcome the ups and downs of the pandemic.",
