advisory support, a number of prerequisites to sustainable police reform implementation have been provided such as the development of an explicit police reform roadmap and the establishment of the Government-led body to control implementation of the reform process. Police Reform The CiB facilitated a number of events to ensure transparent consideration of various versions of the police reform concept, including a roundtable to present the consolidated police reform concept and priority measures which was organized by the PRP at the national level. The roundtable was attended by 60 representatives from the PMO, Parliament, all law enforcement bodies, civil society, the US Embassy and international organizations. As a result, the Police Reform Measures and Action Plan document, a police reform roadmap backed by the plan of explicit actions, have been developed with the PRP’s advisory support and finally adopted by the Kyrgyz Government. The roadmap summarizes the huge and concerted efforts of working groups supported by the PRP in cross-cutting co-operation with the OSCE’s Community Security Initiative in Kyrgyzstan (CSI) to ensure inclusion of international standards of policing, including principles of gender mainstreaming, human rights and multi-ethnic policing. The Police Reform Steering Council – composed of key representatives of Parliament, the PMO, Government and civil society – has been set up to ensure a strong supervision and coordination of the police reform process from the side of the Government. A nation-wide baseline public opinion survey was conducted to collect baseline data showing an index of citizens’ trust. This research was to be conducted on an annual basis with the PRP’s support letting the Police Reform Steering Council and Civilian Oversight institutions keep track of the police reform implementation through weighing the effectiveness of results against the research findings. Police Accountability The police reform roadmap stipulates the establishment of a Civilian Oversight Body to check and balance the Police Reform Steering Council represented by the Government structures. After researching avenues of oversight that are already in place, it was concluded that a multi-tiered system was already in place. Each ministry had a review process and there were additional processes under the PMO as well as the Ombudsman and several NGOs. These latter organizations were held outside the realm of political control. It was agreed that there was in fact a substantial civilian oversight structure in place. Existing structures,26 together with the MoI Internal Security Department and NGOs could act in partnership performing the civilian oversight role. Recommendations were going to be used for designing the PRP’s 2014 UB Programme. The monitoring of Post Administrative Arrest Redistribution Facilities (PAARF) that are managed by police, was supported by the PRP in co-ordination with the CiB’s Human Dimension unit and carried out by an implementing partner. In 2013 the project focused on the working conditions and skills of the police staff in the PAARF. As a result of the project, a more efficient and structured training course for police officers working in the PAARF was designed. 26 For instance, Local Crime Prevention Centres (LCPCs) at the local level, Public Advisory Committees at the district level and Public Supervision Boards at the national level. 133
