did not provide services of required quality and standards, and therefore, renovation works had to be properly finalized in 2012. In June, following the exchange of letters of interest between the MoI and the CiB, the project on establishing the “Community Policing Training Centre (CPTC) in Osh” was launched. The Training Centre, based at the Osh branch of the Secondary Police School, was to be renovated and properly equipped in order to serve as a platform for continuous professional development on different aspects of community policing for the Kyrgyz Police in the south of the country. In order to ensure the faculty’s expertise and commitment, a team of trainers, consisting of two experienced and two younger trainers, was selected in co-operation with the MoI and received relevant training in Osh and abroad. In October, during a study tour to the United Kingdom and Turkey the trainers learned about core police functions and how they are supported in the community policing strategy by specialist units. Following the study tour, the future instructors successfully completed a month-long training course in November-December, delivered by international trainers, focusing on participatory in-service training for those engaged in community policing and the application of interactive teaching tools in this process. Gender-Sensitive Approach and Gender-Mainstreaming in Policing In 2011, the PRP finalized the report on the gender analysis of the Interior Ministry’s personnel policy, which was carried out in late 2010. The analysis focused on two main aspects: 1) legal provisions and frameworks that regulate gender equality in the police organization; and 2) the extent to which these provisions are translated into practice, as well as the challenges that hinder mainstreaming of a gender-sensitive approach in policing. Professional opportunities for men and women police officers and their social rights were in the focus of the analysis. The findings and recommendations were discussed at a two-day workshop with the Senior Management of the MoI and other central police structures. The recommendations in the final document were developed in line with the fundamental principles of gender equality and took into account the practical implications of their implementation in Kyrgyzstan’s police organization. The final document was handed over to the MoI for further consideration. The PRP also continued to support gender mainstreaming activities of the Women Police Association. The Association was finishing the compilation of materials for wider public dissemination and worked on identifying further institutional priorities of the Association. Parallel to this, the organization was working on joining the International Association of Women in Police (IAWP). 107
