The digitalization of governance is meant to increase public satisfaction with state service and facilitate citizen involvement in safety provisions. Due to the digitalization trend, one can expect expansion of digital technologies in policing. Those technologies can be used for surveillance but they can also create a platform for cooperation between various actors in security production. Therefore, citizen’s perceptions of technologies are of critical importance. Russia cannot be considered a pioneer in the use of police technologies. However, the number of closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras in public places is steadily growing. Police surveillance extends to virtual spaces as well such as social networks and public messengers. Based on a 570 sample of university students St. Petersburg, Russia we explore views related to CCTV and online monitoring. Results show that young people are willing to accept surveillance in public places, but are unsupportive of online surveillance tools and regulations. Citizens views are ambivalent regarding effectiveness of police technologies in crime prevention, enhancing security, and increasing police accountability. However, they express concerns regarding possible infringement of their privacy due to the use of technology. The study was funded by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (grant 18–011-00756 A “The study of citizens involvement in public governance under conditions of the formation of a digital government”).
