officers, members of the SPU and other organizational units. The improved knowledge of general management and leadership practices was expected to increase not only the management methodologies but also the Police Department’s access to the international community, thereby enhancing opportunities for sharing best practices. The Introductory Diploma in Management Programme has been provided by the London-based Institute for Leadership and Management. The Programme consists of five modules: (1) Self Management (2) Managing People; (3) Managing Activities, (4) Managing Resources, and (5) Managing Information. All participants get membership access to the online ILM library which provides a possibility for distance learning, for exploring and researching. From 1-16 July, the Mission, in co-operation with the PD, carried out a police perception survey. The survey was undertaken in the Police Headquarters and in eight Police Field Offices and included high-, mid- and operational level management within the police. The aim of the survey was to obtain relevant statistical data about the police organization and performance and internal and external factors influencing it, as well as about the police officers’ role in the organization. Survey results were expected to provide information to be used to establish tools for quickly resolving identified problems within the police organization. More important, the results reflect one of the ongoing challenges in regards to how much the Police are ready and willing to accept or use critical opinions in accomplishing change in their organization and to reposition segments, functions, and job taskings considered routine in their normal work structure. The results were to be used as well for issuing the National Strategy for the Development of the Montenegrin Police for a period of three years from 2011-2013 and for the OSCE projects planned for 2011. The Mission engaged an expert on Criminal Law to develop Commentaries to the Criminal Code of Montenegro in order to facilitate the smooth and efficient implementation of the new elements contained in the law. The publication was presented and distributed to all relevant actors in Montenegro (courts, prosecution offices, police, lawyers etc.) The Mission also supported the development and publishing of forms and templates for the implementation of the Criminal Procedure Code in order to facilitate the efficient and unified implementation of the law. Co-ordination of Police-related Activities amongst International Organizations The Mission continued to support the host country' s Police Directorate in its efforts to coordinate police related activities among the international organizations. On 30 November, the Mission, in co-operation with the PD carried out the annual Police Affairs Coordination Meeting (PCM), focusing on the ongoing police reform process in Montenegro. More than 30 participants from the PD, international organizations, NGO' s and embassies participated in the meeting. The meeting enabled participants to exchange information about the projects implemented in 2010 and their plans for 2011. The meeting’s purpose was to provide a forum for co-ordination and information sharing between donors and national authorities to ensure that recovery efforts are effective and to avoid wasteful duplication and overlap in project implementation. For the Mission, it was important to grasp the current state-of-affairs of police reform. Furthermore, it was very important to analyze whether and to what extent the support and assistance being provided by the Mission was to the benefit of the police. It was also decided that in the future, the PD would take sole responsibility for organizing the coordination meetings and the OSCE would just facilitate the event. 46
