Policing OnLine Information System (POLIS)9 In 2011, the SPMU continued to serve as the main collection point and central repository for OSCE police-related information and institutional knowledge, providing an online platform – POLIS – for sharing and exchanging information resulting from OSCE activities, local initiatives and development work of other international organizations and agencies in the field of policing. In 2011, the SPMU negotiated and signed partnership agreements with regard to the use of POLIS with the Turkish National Police Academy and the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia. The POLIS team, planned, designed and supported several online workshops and discussion forums in POLIS and provided substantial support to the first OSCE e-learning workshop in the field of policing. The team also created a thematic portal in POLIS on the topic of trafficking in illicit drugs. Moreover, the POLIS team introduced several measures to further improve the quality of the information stored in the system, particularly in the Policing Expert Database. As part of its activities to promote the system, the POLIS team intensified the use of social media outlets such as Twitter and initiated the quarterly POLIS newsletter, which provides an overview of the latest developments in relation to POLIS and summarizes the quarterly statistics for the system. In 2011, the team planned and conducted an online survey for the 6,300 registered POLIS users. The feedback received from the participants in the survey provided a solid basis for further improvement of the Digital Library and some of the suggestions were incorporated in the POLIS Strategy document. Co-operation with other Internal and External Partners Following up on Athens Ministerial Council Decision 02/09 and the 2010 report by the OSCE Secretary General on the Implementation of MC.DEC/2/09 on Further OSCE Efforts to Address Transnational Threats and Challenges to Security and Stability, the SPMU spared no efforts in ensuring maximum programmatic co-ordination of its activities, among the OSCE executive structures, and with international and regional organizations and NGOs in order to avoid duplications and to provide added value. The SPMU co-operated with other partners in organizing a number of needs assessments/fact finding missions, workshops, conferences, meetings and training events, described in this document. The preparation and implementation of activities related to organized crime, trafficking in human beings and drugs entailed co-ordination and co-operation with many partner organizations, including: the EU Border Management (BOMCA) and Drug Action (CADAP) Programmes in Central Asia; the Central Asian Regional Information and Co-ordination Centre (CARICC), the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA); the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO); the European Commission (EC); the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA); Eurojust; Europol; the Financial Action Task Force (FATF); the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC); the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD); the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB); the International Organisation for Migration (IOM); INTERPOL; the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO); the Southeast Europe Cooperative Initiative (SECI) Center/Southeast European Law Enforcement Center (SELEC); the South East Europe Cooperation Process (SEECP); the Southeast Europe Police Chief Association (SEPCA); the Police Cooperation Convention for Southeast Europe (PCC SEE); 9 22 See http://polis.osce.org/
