crime and terrorism are transnational phenomena, enhancing capacities of Kosovo police and other law enforcement agencies is essential for improving the security situation in the entire region. In 2010, the Department supported the Kp and law enforcement agencies through advanced and specialized training courses, seminars, conferences, and workshops focusing on their further capacity development according to training needs assessments. Long-term sustainability of the capacity building was pursued through the train-the-trainers approach. The Department continued to support the Kp in identifying and qualifying local trainers to conduct in-service training. The Department also assisted in the implementation and further improvement of already adopted strategies and action plans on combating terrorism and organized crime. Information gathered and assessed by the Department indicated the need to additionally train those Kp officers/investigators who are dealing with countering terrorism, especially in the areas of information gathering, analysis and investigations related to terrorist cases. Special attention was given to train Kp officers in the field of violent extremism and radicalism that can lead to terrorism. To that end, the department prepared and conducted a specially designed training on “Terrorism Abusing/Exploiting Religion”. Needs assessments came to the conclusion that more specialized training courses on terrorism abusing religion and counter-terrorism investigations were needed in the future. As a direct result of the training courses conducted by the Department, the Kp enhanced their operational capacities and started to conduct very successful operations against organized crime: Soon after the conclusion of the “Advanced Cybercrime Investigations” training, the Kp arrested seven suspects that were accused and eventually sentenced for the production of counterfeited bankcards. In addition, co-operation with other law enforcement agencies became more frequent and efficient. The new organizational structure of the Kp was adopted, while the Kp crime pillar became more effective in performing its duties. Regional units of the Kp were centralized and better co-ordinated. The reorganization and restructuring of the Kp required more staff and additional training that was also provided by the Department. Another major contribution of the Department was the support to the development and implementation of Intelligence-Led Policing (ILP), which was a new concept in Kosovo/UNMIK. Based on strong commitment from senior management of the Kp and due to the interest shown by EULEX and the European Commission Liaison Office in Kosovo (ECLO), the ILP implementation was identified as the activity of highest priority in 2010. In order to help the Kp to accelerate the implementation process and to identify overall objectives, key activities, timelines, desired outcomes and responsible institutions, the Department organized a workshop on “Finalization of the Strategy and Action Plan on Strengthening Intelligence-Led Policing” from 6-10 April, bringing together all international and local stakeholders. The Strategy and Action Plan were successfully drafted and later approved by the General Director of the Kp. Based on the Strategy and Action Plan, the Department developed and conducted a specialized executive training programme for the senior management staff of the Kp promoting the ILP concept and aiming to improve the effectiveness of operations by providing guidance on executive command and increasing their capacities on strategic thinking and planning. The Department continued to support the implementation of the ILP concept in the Kp by printing over 10.000 brochures with basic information about ILP to be distributed to all public service agencies and to various NGO’s that are dealing with public safety and security issues. Furthermore, the Department organized a round table on 19 October, to review the progress of implementation and further development of the Strategy and Action Plan on ILP. 43
