senior-ranking border and customs officers from 19 different countries. Course modules focused on identifying types of corruption, motivating factors, risk assessment, preventative strategies and investigative skills. The course also examined the role of international and regional organizations in the fight against corruption and was seen as an excellent example of mutual co-operation between missions. Drug Trafficking With the continuous support of the DSPS the KP made significant progress in responding to drug trafficking. The KP Drug Directorate recruited 40 new staff members, increasing their personnel to a total of 90. The DSPS had, for some time, supported training for officers in this area of work. On 10-11 May, the DSPS organized a two-day workshop at KAPS, bringing together senior professionals from the KP, relevant ministries, NGOs, the Kosovo Judiciary Council, the Prosecutor’s Office and international partners. The purpose of the workshop was to highlight the issue of emerging local drug markets in Kosovo and to explore potential solutions. A number of key points were identified and presented to the strategic group with responsibility for the Strategy and Action Plan against Drugs, and subsequently incorporated into the document. Between 28 May and 1 June, the DSPS held an in-house training course at KAPS entitled “Management of Serious Crime Investigations”, attended by 12 middle ranking officers from the KP. This training programme was designed to equip officers leading investigations into drug trafficking networks with the necessary skills to effectively lead their teams and make sound operational decisions. Modules delivered included ILP, risk assessment, human rights, financial investigation and policy/decision making skills. Students completed a scenariobased exercise on the final two days of the course upon which they were assessed. From 29 October to 9 November, the DSPS organized and facilitated a training course on proactive investigation methods of criminal networks involved in drug trafficking. This training, facilitated by an internal OSCE expert in co-operation with the KP and prosecutors, focused on the detection of trafficking routes; the search of premises; the identification of drug types; and interviewing of suspects. In addition, participants were also trained on how to build a case file, including information gathering, analysis of intelligence and collection of evidence, for submission to prosecutors. The course took place at KAPS. Participants also had the opportunity to visit the Kosovo Forensic Laboratory to observe the scientific processes applied in drugs investigation. The efforts made by the Department with respect to combating drug trafficking produced significant results. Firstly, the KP Drug squad continued to enhance its operational results. During the year, the squad dismantled several key criminal networks and made significant seizures of both heroin and cannabis. Secondly, the DSPS focused the KP on tackling local drug markets through the adoption of a problem-solving approach, utilising community groups. Lastly, the Department’s input into the Kosovo Strategy and Action Plan against Drugs, outlined above, was deemed a crucial capacity building activity. Counter-Terrorism On 21 February 2012, the DSPS organized and delivered a “Seminar on Strategic Planning for Tackling Terrorist Propaganda”, which took place at the KP headquarters. Over 30 senior staff from various KP directorates gathered and shared their knowledge and experience. A counter-propaganda methodology and strategies relevant to enhancing intelligence and improving public relations were presented. 61
