Executive Summary The OSCE continued to provide police assistance in two major areas, in line with its mandate and the interests of participating States: 1) general police development and reform, and 2) the fight against threats posed by criminal activity, including organized crime, terrorism, illicit drugs and chemical precursors, trafficking in human beings and cybercrime. Slightly under three quarters of the total number of policerelated activities organized and delivered by the OSCE executive structures were dedicated to addressing general police development and reform, a slight decrease from 2015. Activities devoted to enhancing and consolidating community policing/police-public partnership projects were still the most common, with notable increases in activities focused on hate crimes. Activities on human rights and police accountability increased considerably between 2015 and 2016. A significant number of activities also focused on gender-based and domestic violence. With regard to the fight against transnational threats, activities related to trafficking in human beings and migration-related crime were the most prominent, especially in the field operations in Albania, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Montenegro. Activities related to border security and management increased significantly in 2016, in particular in Albania and Montenegro. Activities related to countering organized crime were the third most common activities throughout OSCE executive structures.
