Police Education and Development In 2012, the Government had decided to transfer the Police Academy in Danilovgrad from the jurisdiction of the MoI to the Ministry of Education. Shortcomings in the rotation of the Academy’s staff caused the postponement of the development and adaption of the Strategy on Police Education for the Police Academy for 2013-2017 and the new Police Handbook. Despite these challenges, the Mission successfully maintained excellent working relations with the Academy. In 2013, these excellent relations resulted in the organization of courses in “Police Trainer Development”; “Field Training Officers” (FTO); “Training on Traffic Accident Scene Investigation” for Traffic Police Officers and Training for Dispatchers in Police On-Call centers. Pursuant to activities conducted in 2012, and upon request of the Police Directorate, the Mission organized two cycles of “On-Call Centre Dispatchers” courses for some 40 members of existing dispatch units. The programme, which was conducted by Slovenian police experts, focused on the rules, aims and types of communication; elements of successful communication; listening and receiving feedback; and strategies for successful conflict resolution. Participants gained valuable knowledge about new operating methodologies of On-Call Centres; combating trafficking in human beings; skills in identifying victims and traffickers; risk analyses; drug search and detection, as well as skills necessary for rendering the in-service training and establishing necessary foundations for changes in the Montenegrin police system. The knowledge and skills gained were planned to be cascaded to other officers through the in-service training courses. The OSCE also organized a study visit for six senior managers from the Montenegrin On-Call Centre to the Slovenian Police Dispatch Unit. The visit allowed the officers to exchange best practices and receive first-hand information on the Slovenian on-call system. The Mission also organized a four-day training on “Traffic Accident Scene Investigation”. The aim of this training was to raise the operational capacities of the traffic officers responding to traffic accidents and to minimise the duration of the accident investigation. Croatian experts demonstrated the latest methods and practices in investigating accidents techniques and modules. The target group for the training were 25 members of Traffic Police Sector. The training was organized at the Police Academy in co-operation with Croatian Police. Although there were a significant number of female officers in the police, the Mission still noted the need for greater amount of willingness or commitment of senior managers to promote female officers to managerial level positions, and to deploy more female officers on the streets. To change the approach of senior management level the Mission facilitated a three-day training on “Gender Sensitive Policing” for middle and senior managers. While the Police Academy has been transferred under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education, it directly reports to the Government. There has been no link or mechanism that would provide direct co-operation or co-ordination between the Police Academy and the Police Directorate and this caused problems in mutual planning and strategic development. As a result of this, the Academy has the monopoly in Police training. The Mission noted that attention should be given to establishing self-sustainable in-service training capacity for the police departments by organizing more Trainer Development and specialized courses. In 2013, the Mission organized three workshops for developing a new Curriculum. The first workshop defined the steps to be taken in 2013. The Police Academy decided to invite experts from the National Turkish Police to undertake the needs assessment for the police curriculum. As a result of a meeting with a Turkish expert, it was agreed to design, in a first phase, a questionnaire with relevant actors for three generations of cadets already employed (100 police officers). Colleagues from the Police Academy in Serbia would facilitate the 74
