criminal justice experts from the OSCE executive structures, participating States, international organizations and think tanks had developed this new guidebook, which provides good practices in a holistic approach to police reform that complements relevant reform activities in other sectors of the Criminal Justice System to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the entire criminal justice process. The Russian translation of the guidebook was published in December 2013. On 26 July, the TNTD/SPMU also published the OSCE Resource Police Training Guide: Trafficking in Human Beings. The Training Guide provides a minimum set of standards for law enforcement training in the OSCE participating States and Partners for Co-operation States. It aims to strengthen law enforcement capacities for preventing and combating trafficking in human beings, and to facilitate the identification of emerging trends and new forms of human trafficking. The Training Guide introduces case studies illustrating good practices in investigating human trafficking cases and victim identification. The Russian translation of the Training Guide was published in November 2013. On 8-13 August, upon invitation of the OSCE Office in Yerevan, the TNTD/SPMU visited the Republic of Armenia with the aim to discuss the Police Assistance Programme with the Office staff and the host country’s authorities. During the visit, the TNTD/SPMU met the National Police Director, the Director of the Police Academy, the National INTERPOL Bureau and the Yerevan Police Chief. In addition, a Community Policing pilot site was visited in Yerevan and a meeting with OSCE implementing partners was used to discuss the involvement of civil society in the police reform in the country. During the discussions with the host authorities remarkable achievements were noted in the implementation of community policing principles and the reform of the police educational system. Next steps of the implementation of police reform in the country were also agreed with the OSCE Office management during a cross-dimensional meeting in the Mission. The TNTD/SPMU, upon request of the OSCE Office in Yerevan planned to support an international conference on police reform to be held in Yerevan in November 2013. From 29-30 August, upon request of the International Department at Kripos in Norway, the TNTD/SPMU organized a study trip for a group of Norwegian Police College students. The study trip programme included presentations by the TNTD/ATU, TNTD/CC, TNTD/BSMU, and TNTD/SPMU, focusing on different aspects of criminal justice system reform in the OSCE participating States. The TNTD/SPMU also facilitated a meeting of the Norwegian students with colleagues from UNODC. On 24-27 September, the TNTD/SPMU participated in the “Western Balkan ‘Treptower Group’ Network Meeting” in Ljubljana, presenting police-related activities of the OSCE in the Western Balkan region. The meeting offered an opportunity for the TNTD to network with other actors on police assistance in the Western Balkan region and to co-ordinate donor activities. The TNTD/SPMU used the opportunity to exchange information about international donor activities with major actors to avoid duplications of activities while providing police assistance. On 4-5 October, the TNTD/SPMU participated at the “International Donor Co-ordination Meeting” in Tbilisi. The meeting was jointly organized by the Georgian Ministry of Interior and the Police Academy of Georgia. About 50 participants from national authorities and international organizations discussed achievements in police and criminal justice reform since November 2012, as well as further needs to be addressed. The TNTD/SPMU recalled OSCE’s intensive involvement in Georgia’s police reform until 2008 and its on-going cooperation with the Georgian Police since the closure of the mission, and encouraged the participation of Georgian police officers in OSCE events taking place outside Georgia. The TNTD/SPMU met the Deputy Director of the Reform and Development Agency and discussed Georgia’s contribution to the upcoming OSCE “Annual Police Experts Meeting”. 26
