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.
