Development of Baseline Police Capacities In its efforts to assist the participating States in developing baseline police capacities that comply with the requirements and obligations accepted by them by ratifying fundamental international legal instruments, the TNTD/SPMU continued disseminating and promoting its key publications on democratic policing and operationalizing them in the framework of highlevel regional workshops on democratic policing. Together with the ODIHR Contact Point for Roma and Sinti Issues, the TNTD/SPMU continued to promote the jointly developed Guidebook on Police and Roma and Sinti: Building Trust and Understanding. On 6-7 December, the TNTD/SPMU and ODHIR, with the support of the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Slovakia, launched the Slovak version of the guidebook in Smrekovec at Donovaly in the Republic of Slovakia. The two-day event was organized for representatives of the police training institutions and the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Slovakia in order to discuss the operationalization of the Guidebook through training. Representatives from the Roma community played an important part as lecturers in the event (see also Appendix 2). Furthermore, the Unit, in close co-operation with criminal justice experts from the OSCE executive structures, participating States, international organizations and think tanks drafted a new guideline document on Police Reform within the Framework of Criminal Justice System Reform, which provides good practices in a holistic approach to police reform that complements relevant reform activities in other sectors of the Criminal Justice System to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the entire criminal justice process. The book was planned to be published in July 2013. Jointly with ODIHR, the TNTD/SPMU developed Guidelines on Human Rights Education for Law Enforcement Officials which were published in September 2012, as well as a practical manual for law enforcement officers on Human Rights in Counter-Terrorism Investigations, which was planned to be published in 2013 (see also Appendix 2). Jointly with the TNTD/ATU and ODIHR, the TNTD/SPMU continued to support the drafting of a guidebook on Preventing Terrorism and Countering Violent Extremism and Radicalization that Lead to Terrorism: A Community Policing Approach. The guidebook was also planned to be published in 2013 (see also chapter 2.3). As the OSCE is a co-operating partner of the Police Cooperative Convention of Southeastern Europe (PCC SEE), the TNTD/SPMU participated at the “PCC SEE Implementation Programme “Way Ahead” Meeting” on 16-17 January in Ljubljana. Various PCC SEE programmes are designed to assist cross-border co-operative investigations, Joint Investigation Teams (JITS) and policing in the region. The TNTD/SPMU and OSCE Field Operations co-operate in training efforts that explore the use of the PCC SEE as a criminal justice tool. A number of other regional organizations working to enhance police co-operation in the region, such as CEPOL, EUROPOL, FRONTEX and MARI also participated at the meeting. The meeting served to co-ordinate capacity building and development efforts planned by the PCC SEE and the participating organizations, and to look for partnership areas of synergy. With the aim of promoting strategic planning capacities of law enforcement organizations in South-Eastern Europe, the TNTD/SPMU, on 28-29 November, attended a seminar on strategic planning, organizational performance and setting priorities for regional police cooperation in Belgrade. The Seminar was organized by the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Serbia with the support of the OSCE Mission to Serbia. Representatives from the Ministries of Interior of Bosnia and Herzegovina/Republika Srpska and Serbia; international organizations (the EU, INTERPOL, and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)), the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF), and 23
