4.3 Mission in Kosovo
Introduction
The OSCE Mission in Kosovo (the Mission) is mandated with the protection and promotion
of human and community rights, as well as with democratization and public safety sector
development. The Mission regularly delivers advanced and specialized training courses for
law enforcement agencies to further improve their capacities.
In 1999, the OSCE was mandated with training the new police service to uphold human rights
and democratic policing principles. To do so, the Mission’s Department of Police Education
and Development (DPED) created an institution called the Kosovo Police (KP) School that, in
2006, evolved into the Kosovo Centre for Public Safety Education and Development and, in
2011, into the Kosovo Academy for Public Safety (KAPS). In order to better reflect the broader
context of its programmes in justice, safety, and security sector development, DPED itself
became the Department for Security and Public Safety (DSPS) in 2006.
