Forensics An expert from the TNP assessed the performance of the MoI’s Forensic Centre, providing recommendations for further development and improving capacities in conducting forensic expertise and developing practical skills and knowledge of forensic experts across the country. The assessment was combined with the provision of training courses on the updated SONDA ADIS electronic fingerprint system for 15 forensic experts from all regions of the country. The training was delivered at the MoI’s Forensic Centre in Bishkek. The training was conducted by local instructors and aimed to improve police capacities in crime investigation. Chiefs of units and administrative users of the SONDA fingerprint system were the main target audience. The PRP organized training courses on trace evidence for forensic expertise of the Kyrgyz police officers. The courses were conducted by the local instructors from the Kyrgyz Ministry of Interior and took place in Balykchy town of the Issyk-kul province. 24 police officers attended the courses and received certifications authorizing them to conduct trace evidence expertise in the regions. Forensic activities of the year were finished by a round table on the “Use of DNA expertise in criminal investigation” for investigators and forensic experts which was organized at the OSCE Academy in Bishkek. It was conducted by the MoI’s Forensic Centre and experts from Biochip-Technologies LTD. More than 50 participants from various departments of the MoI, representatives from Ministries of Education, Justice and Health, and representatives from embassies and international organizations as well as NGOs and civil society attended the round table. Participants discussed perspectives for developing the DNA expertise in the country. At the end of the round table, participants adopted a resolution with practical recommendations and created the working group to develop related legislation. Community Policing In 2012, the Community Policing (CP) project continued to improve the quality of CP training courses. This included a ToT on training techniques for 12 CP trainers conducted in July 2012. The training was delivered by an international expert from the US ICITAP. To make the CP courses more visual and interactive, eleven short films were produced based on scripts including practical examples of CP implementation. These films (five-six min each) depicted the policing of domestic violence, problem-solving, crime prevention based on environmental design, working at the duty station, juvenile-delinquency, and patrolling. The films were given to the MoI, Police Academy, Special Secondary Police School and the Community Policing Training Centre (CPTC) for use in their training activities. These materials were all provided to the advisers of the OSCE Community Security Initiative (CSI) (see CSI section below) for use in their project sites.

In the first stage, assistance focused on the renovation of facilities, including classrooms, a library, a dormitory, an IT room, a kitchen, a dining room and 132
