Police Education and Development Between 12 March and 6 April, the Mission organized the first cycle of a four-week Trainer Development Course for four officers from the Special Anti-Terrorist Unit, three from the Crowd Control Unit, two from the Military, two from Customs Administration, and two from the Institute for Execution of Criminal Sanctions. The aim of this course was to enhance the capacities of various police departments and public institutions in order to increase the capacity of their staff, and to educate them to perform in-service training on their own as well as to establish in-service capacity for police units and public administration. The variety of participants' profiles of this course demonstrated that the Montenegrin Police College (PC) is not only serving the police but also various public institutions as stipulated in its founding documents. On 3-7 May, the Mission, in co-operation with the PC, facilitated the first phase of an assessment of the new Criminal Procedures Code (CPC). In total, 1,894 members of the Police Directorate (PD), of which 250 were police managers, passed the test. The findings of the assessment were to be further used for the development of a training programme on the implementation of the CPC. A pool of experts were to design the training programme and all authorised police officers were to complete this training. On 8-10 May, the Mission, in co-operation with the Turkish National Police, organized the introduction of a situational training concept as well as of sample modules for the Montenegrin PC. The aim of this presentation was to familiarize the staff of the PC with sample situational training modules to enable them to adopt a new training approach into the basic police training concept as well as to find common ground for new projects in the future. Additionally, the Turkish experts offered to produce a 5-year action plan, including projects, study visits, and the exchange of professors and instructors with the PC. It was agreed that the PC would send a letter to the Turkish National Police expressing interest in the aforementioned activities. The OSCE police education and development adviser was to coordinate these projects. On 28-31 May, the Mission, in co-operation with the Montenegrin PC, organized a study visit for two members of the Montenegrin PC to the Portuguese Police Academy in Lisbon. The purpose of the visit was to allow the Montenegrin representatives to get an insight into new programmes of simulation training for police cadets and to import some of the training modules to the Montenegrin PC. During the visit the PC Director had the chance to see various shooting ranges and simulation systems and to identify one that would adequately meet the needs of the Montenegrin Police. On 3-7 September, the Mission organized a five-day course on “Developing Needs Assessments” (NA) for PC and PD instructors. The course was delivered by experts from the Turkish Police Education Department. The Montenegrin instructors were provided with the skills to design and assess questionnaires and finally conduct NAs for various institutions. This was meant to increase sustainability in the training field. Participants included nine instructors from the PC, one representative of Customs and two from the PD. On 23 November, the Mission organized the first cycle of a one-day workshop on "Developing New Curriculum for the Police College". The workshop took place at the PC in Danilovgrad. Two Curriculum Developers from Serbia, the Director and Deputy Director of the PC, representatives from the PD, and PC trainers attended the workshop. The aim was to define a job description for each teaching position at the PC by recognizing the tasks and responsibilities among trainers that should be added in order to have a more effective teaching staff. 65
