organizations, thus including the voice of the residents in major security processes or regimes and problem-solving techniques. Following the above areas of interventions, the long-term strategy applicable to the context of Trondheim would be the incorporation of predictive policing techniques, through the information and communication technologies, making way for both smart mechanisms to identify crime and bring about a change in the criminal policies. The short-term intervention would be to engage residents of the city in the policing process by suggesting the community policing technique, which has proved to be beneficial in major developed countries. Another set of interventions, as has been noticed in Trondheim, would be to integrate the three emergency numbers into a single number and conduct more emergency practices and workshops for international students – preferably as a part of the orientation week to avoid miscommunications and confusions in case a sudden shock occurs.

Discussion and conclusion
Trondheim is considered to be one of the happiest cities (Dregni, 2018). In such a scenario, crime and policing as indicators might not be as relevant as they would be in a developing country context. Understanding the ways in which crime and terrorism is identified, the ways in which it is handled, has proven to be an educational experience. Although the study aimed to understand the goal 5 of the City Resilience Framework in the context of Trondheim, there are some limitations. The qualitative analysis of the indicators is subjective to the availability of relevant literature in English and not in Norwegian. The analysis carried out is incomplete since all stakeholders – the Trondheim commune, Crisis Centre, Lagevatka and the higher officials in the Politi were unavailable for meetings and hence, the information shown in the report might not be suitable to further build on this study. The semi-structured interviews conducted for the goal 5 only considered to look at crime deterring and policing systems in day-to-day life and has proposed for certain activities applicable to the same.
