from departments with responsibilities for the investigation of drug trafficking, economic crimes and corruption, intelligence and analysis, counter-terrorism, and the KP Task Force were represented. The course was held at KAPS. From 3-7 December, the DSPS provided advanced training on “Criminal Profiling” for 18 investigators from the KP Directorates of Counter Terrorism, Financial Investigation and Corruption, Trafficking in Human Beings, Intelligence and Analysis, and officers from Kosovo Customs. This course took place at KAPS and was delivered by an experienced consultant with a proven background in criminal profiling. Key modules included: risk assessments; intelligence; risk profiling; profiling techniques applied to passengers, cargos, and flights; behavioural indicators of suspicious persons in mass transit; offender and victim profiling; as well as the criminal profiling generating process. The course enabled trainees to understand how to use crime analysis and apply principles to the prevention and detection of crime. In addition, participants were taught about the inductive profiling technique where investigators develop a profile for a given case based on substantial evidence that they gather throughout their investigations, and not based on sex, race, or age, which is mostly deemed as a deductive profiling technique that uses stereotypical assumptions or discriminatory techniques. Cybercrime From 14-18 May, the DSPS delivered training at KAPS to 12 KP investigators on the use of the Internet as an investigative tool. The KP had identified cybercrime as an emerging threat and further courses were planned for 2013. Financial Investigations/Money Laundering On 1-5 October, the DSPS delivered a five-day training programme on “Money Laundering” for 12 KP investigators and two criminal judges at KAPS. This course was designed to improve the investigation of money laundering offences and highlight the added benefits that financial investigation can bring to the investigation of other serious criminal offences. The participation of two judges provided the course with an added and valuable dimension that allowed both judges and police officers to work together on classroom-based practical exercises. This led to a better understanding of the role, responsibilities and challenges that each of the two professions face within the criminal justice system. Corruption On 26 April, representatives from the DSPS attended the launch of a Kosovo-wide initiative to tackle economic crime in Pristina. This was a joint EU and CoE funded project designed to strengthen the capacity of Kosovo institutions to tackle corruption and money laundering. The Department intended to participate in this project by providing training on corruption to the KP and other public safety agencies, planned to take place in 2013 and 2014. From 8-19 October, the DSPS organized and facilitated a two-week advanced training course on “Procurement and Tender Procedures” for 15 participants. Attendees included investigative officers from the KP, PIK and Kosovo Customs. This course took place at KAPS and was delivered by an external expert consultant, the President of Public Procurement Regulatory Commission in Kosovo and the KP Director of Investigation of Economic Crimes and Corruption Directorate. Through its Senior Organized Crime Adviser, the DSPS assisted the OSCE Office in Tajikistan with border and customs training on countering corruption, held from 19-23 November. This was organized in co-operation with the TNTD/BU and was attended by 26 60
