Furthermore, the police reform activities of the OSCE executive structures were increasingly
complementing reform projects that addressed capacity building of other key players of the
criminal justice system, including prosecutors and judges. Such kind of assistance included
mainly the provision of joint training courses for law enforcement officers, prosecutors and
judges. In order to promote a coherent OSCE methodology for implementing such a holistic
reform approach, the TNTD/SPMU, in close consultations with criminal justice practitioners,
policy makers and researchers from OSCE participating States, OSCE executive structures,
international partner organizations, research institutions and non-governmental
organizations, developed an operational guidance document on Police Reform within the
Framework of Criminal Justice System Reform. This guidebook addresses the connecting
points between the relevant actors of the criminal justice system and provides some concrete
examples of practical measures on how to improve collaboration between the various actors
in order to enhance the entire criminal justice process and to make police reform
achievements more sustainable. A number of field operations started translating the
guidebook into the official languages of their host States and planned to publish these books
in 2014 in the framework of national and regional workshops.
