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. This is the twelfth report submitted in accordance with Decision 9, paragraph 6, of the Bucharest Ministerial Council Meeting, 4 December 2001, on ‘Police-Related Activities’. It describes the police-related activities of the OSCE executive structures in compliance with the Ministerial and Permanent Council Decisions and Action Plans, listed in Appendix 2. The report provides information about the police-related activities of the TNTD, other thematic units in the Secretariat, and the OSCE field operations. The Annual Report on Police-Related Activities for 2013 by ODIHR is attached to this report in Appendix 1. A list of contact details of the OSCE executive structures that dealt with policing issues in 2013 is attached in Appendix 5 to this report. 18
