On the subject of basic police education the PRP/TNPA partnership analysed current curricula, syllabi and methodology before making recommendations for improvement of this educational process including curricula development towards an increased focus on a practice-oriented and problem-solving approach. The report on basic police education is coherent with the overall Police Education Strategy. The report was translated into both State languages, published and handed over to all stakeholders for their consideration.

The delegates were briefed on police education reform and best practices of the TNPA. Three of the participants were women. The delegates were introduced to the Bologna process, including the European credit-hours system. The final evaluation completed in conjunction with the TNPA aimed to develop the mid-term police education strategy for 2013-2015. This evaluation also provided the practical work plan for the implementation of the police education strategy that reflects the needs of the MoI in qualified personnel, civil society concerns and their expectations of a more serviceoriented police service. The evaluation report also contained recommendations for the merging of the Police Academy and the Secondary Special Police School of the MoI into a single police education and training institution.

The instructors prepared presentations of effective communication and co-ordination of orders and policing skills. The TNP assessed the performance of the MoI Public Order Management Unit and of the Anti-riot units in Bishkek and Osh. The assessment report provided several recommendations for improving performance and effectiveness during demonstrations and public disorder. These recommendations complemented educational video material prepared by the Police Academy that illustrated new tactics of public order management and lessons learned from the April 2010 events in Bishkek and Talas.
