level MoIA managers. The workshops were conducted by a Europol expert through a practice-based interactive presentation. The goal was to enhance participants’ knowledge and to help create a transparent and objective performance appraisal system in line with the provisions of the 2009 LoIA. The PDD organized an “Expert Meeting on Career System as an Aspect of the Human Resources Management, a Condition for Efficient Police” in Ohrid. The meeting gathered 50 local and regional experts from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, as well as representatives of the Host Country’s MoIA, the OSCE Mission, ICITAP, and the EU PDAP. Participants exchanged best practices and experience on career development and the systematization of posts. The PDD also organized a “Regional Conference on Challenges of the Human Resources Management in the Process of the Police Reform”. The event saw an active participation of 100 participants, mainly police experts from the region and 50 national police human resources experts, as well as representatives of the ICITAP, EU PDAP and NATO Skopje Headquarters. Focus was placed on the achievements in the implementation of the LoIA and the role of human resources management in promoting democratic policing principles. Topics explored were merit-based career development and staff appraisal; internal control in fighting corruption; police training strategy; and stress management. In line with PDD efforts to facilitate the implementation of the MoIA’s Anti-Corruption Programme for 2010, the PDD, in co-operation with the MoIA and ICITAP, organized a Regional Conference on Prevention and Repression of corruption in the Police. Participants included 50 local and international representatives of the Units for Internal Control from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Montenegro and Romania, and Bulgaria. The conference was a continuation of earlier Mission efforts to asses the compatibility of the domestic legal and institutional system with the applicable international standards. Participants planned to meet again in 2011 to discuss concrete activities for tackling corruption within the Host Country and increase cross-border co-operation on the subject. Police Training Overall, 368 police officers were trained in the courses organized and/or otherwise supported by the PDD during the year. In co-operation with the national Police Training Centre (PTC), the PDD delivered five-day training to four groups of MoIA members on Adult Learning and Roles and Tasks of a Mentor. Targeted were middle-management MoIA staff from the Organized Crime Department (OCD) and the Border Police. A total of 200 mentors were trained. Curriculum development support was also provided and a Mentor Training Curriculum was developed to assist the work of the future police mentors. The PDD also delivered training-of-trainers on Digital Tachographs to a group of 37 police trainers and traffic police officers. The training was conducted by an international expert who also assisted in the development of the National Curriculum on Digital Tachographs. Participants who completed the course cascaded the received training to the remaining traffic police personnel. Overall 200 police officers were trained through the programme. The PDD also provided assistance to the Police Training Centre in its efforts to harmonise all training courses conducted at the decentralized level. To that end, the PDD participated in a two-day MoIA-sponsored workshop organized in September. 61
