"abstract": "The COVID-19 pandemic has created several challenges for police forces. Whether or not the police can successfully respond to these challenges depends on several issues. These must be identified and considered to improve the police work's impact on each community and society. Laufs and Waseem (2020), in a systematic review and best practices for police response to COVID-19, identify four different contexts related to this issue needed to be researched and considered: 1. Police-community relations; 2.Psychological and mental wellbeing of police officers; 3. Intra-organizational challenges; 4. Inter-organizational collaboration and cooperation. Policing in a pandemic context has changed the type of relations between police officers and the community considering possible variations in crime patterns. Also, officers' officer's proximity with infected persons can be identified as one more daily stressor associated with police work. To mitigate the difficulties, adequate training and education must be set up to improve new competencies that can help police officers cope with anxiety about personal risks and develop new professional strategies to investigate crimes. To improve the knowledge about the changes and challenges related to the Covid-19 pandemic in the Portuguese Judiciary Police, the Institute of Criminal Police and Criminal Sciences is conducting a national-level study. The research is conducted in all the 14 departments of Judiciary Police using an online questionnaire based on a review of the literature. Several issues are identified considering the criminal investigation professionals' perception about the criminal patterns' changes, identification of stress factors related to police work, and challenges related to training and education strategies to be implemented.",
