2012. The Department was invited for 2012 to participate in the Twinning Project Steering Committee Work. Training Development In September, the Department delivered a training module on “Strategic Development Planning”, which helped the senior staff of the KCPSED and public safety agencies, such as the MoIA, the Kp, Customs, the Correctional Service, the Agency for Emergency Management and the PIK, to gain knowledge on planning and drafting short, middle and long-term strategies. During the reporting period, the Department continued the implementation of specific training programmes, such as “Project Management” and “Criminal Investigative Statement Analysis”, “Traffic Accident Management” and “Human Resources Management” in order to assist the Kp in establishing a sustainable system of capacity development in the area of human resources management. In June, the Department continued to support Kosovo’s security sector with in-house capacity training activities on performance appraisal and the promotion process. The first line supervision, mid-level management and executive level of management and leadership development programmes were revised by departmental staff, and a final report of the training needs analysis in mid-level management for public safety agencies was presented. Furthermore, in September, the Department conducted tailor-made in-house capacity training on performance appraisal and the promotion process for the Kp. Participants were provided with best practices on conducting promotion interviews in compliance with the rules and regulations of the Kp. Four potential trainers and a pool of high ranking Kp officers (60) were identified, qualified in performance assessment. A promotion process was established to build the capacity for the Kp in conducting a transparent and fair promotion process for its members. During the reporting period, the Department further developed the training delivery capacity of specialized training programmes to achieve sustainability. In most of the training courses, potential trainers were identified, who were expected to deliver these training courses in the future. The Department continued the implementation of “Homicide Investigation” advanced training. This training served a dual purpose: building the capacities for homicide investigation in Kosovo; and enhancing the police’s training delivery capacities. The project fully reached its objectives in terms of sustainability as the Kp Training Department successfully conducted its own training on the subject matter through the identified trainers in 2011. The Department also assisted the MoIA with the participation in working group meetings on the Kosovo Forensic Laboratory Agency, where it contributed to the drafting of the new law on the Kosovo Forensic Agency. The Department paid particular attention to the sustainability of the training activities on forensics due to its vital role in supporting investigations by providing proven and credible evidence reports to the courts. As a follow-up to OMIK training conducted in 2009, the Department implemented the “Forensic Graphology Training”. Kp forensic experts were given the opportunity to practice on real cases during the on-the-job training. Forensics experts were certified in conducting examinations and presenting valid and credible reports for the judiciary institutions after passing the proficiency test at the end of this training. In 2011, the Department also initiated and completed various training activities in advanced and specialized areas such as “Forensic Genetic Statistics” and “Criminal Investigative Equipment Usage” for Kosovo public safety agencies. 43
