To strengthen the investigators’ technical capacity in crime investigations, special devices such as crime scene kits with necessary equipment, light-reflecting vests, tape lines, flash lights and rulers were purchased. Almost all investigators in province and district police departments were provided with such devices. Department for Operational Analysis (DOA) Despite the cancellation of some training activities with the Department of Operational Analysis due to the crisis in April and June, co-operation with the Department continued, including the provision of the software systems Portrait-Poisk and TAIS and a special training course, which resulted in improved analysis-based investigations of the MoI. Police officers who underwent OSCE-organized training courses conducted similar training for Juvenile Delinquency Inspectors at the Police Academy. With the aim of improving the technical capacities of the Department’s regional unit, the CiB handed over IT equipment to the southern provinces of the Kyrgyz Republic. Trafficking in Human Beings In the course of 2010, the CiB continued assisting the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic via its Ministry of Labour, Employment and Migration in aligning national legislation with international anti THB legal standards, and in implementing several anti THB principle legislative provisions of the State Programme of the Kyrgyz Republic 2006-2010. The Centre also translated the THB-related legislative texts from English into Russian, in order to make them available to all interested anti-trafficking stakeholders in the Kyrgyz Republic and worldwide. On 11-12 March 2010, the CiB, jointly with its implementing partner, Youth Union “Golden Goal” conducted training for regional law enforcement bodies on the THB phenomenon. The event covered areas such as identifying victims of THB, the human trafficking process, as well as prevention mechanisms. The training was conducted within the framework of an extra budgetary project, funded by the French delegation to the OSCE. The trainer was an Interpol officer from Norway. During August, a series of field seminar-workshops were conducted within the UB project “Facilitating Local Initiatives to Prevent Human Trafficking in the South of Kyrgyzstan”. The training events aimed at increasing awareness about the THB phenomenon among local students and youth living in near-border areas of the Batken and Jalal-Abad provinces. ***** 99
