Community policing – also known as “neighbourhood policing” - is designed to promote confidence in local forces by employing officers from the social groups they serve and increasing contact-time with the public in defined areas.
Mr Erdan said he had also discussed ways to deal with online hate with Baroness Shields, the Minister for Internet Safety.
The Israeli minister, who in July accused Facebook of having “blood on its hands” for facilitating incitement among Palestinians, said his goal was to “put the burden on Facebook to remove such content”.
He pointed to legislation in France as the best response he had seen to the problem.
“In France the law makes the web platforms responsible,” he said, adding that “incitement on the web needs to be dealt with like child abuse”.
Mr Erdan, a member of Likud, came second in his party’s primaries in 2014 and is tipped as a potential future prime minister of Israel.
