POLICE-RELATED ACTIVITIES OF FIELD OPERATIONS SOUTH-EASTERN EUROPE this area. Participants also learned about different intelligence collection techniques, multiple intelligence approaches, intelligence report writing and other means of gathering information from victims and witnesses of terrorist acts, and individuals with VERLT potential. From 9 to 11 July, the Mission organized on-the-job training on operational planning and management in cases of terror attacks delivered at the London Metropolitan Police to four participants of the KP Counter-Terrorism Directorate. The purpose of the training was to enhance the skills of participating trainers in practical planning and management of terrorist cases, while closely working and discussing with their counterparts on potential on-going cases and sharing practical experiences in the prevention and investigation of terrorist cases. The KP officers had the opportunity to meet representatives of the National Digital Exploitation Unit, Fusion Intelligence Unit and Central Police Operations Room, Forensic Management Team and Crime Disruption Unit, and to become familiar with the use of every tactic and method to mitigate the threat during a counter-terrorism investigation. On 12 and 13 July, the Mission delivered a training that was aimed to empower and promote the role of policewomen in P/C VERLT. Participants were 18 policewomen working in community policing and investigation units of the KP. The training focused on the fact that prevention and safeguarding is everyone’s moral obligation, irrespective of the status and the role they undertake, and whether they have a direct contact or responsibility in P/C VERLT. During the activity, women police officers were taught how to develop skills through scenario-based exercises in order to identify behavioural changes that can be associated with VERLT, enabling them to contribute to the prevention of this phenomenon. In addition, 16 of these policewomen received a ToT on P/C VERLT by the Mission, which took place from 16 to 19 October. Building on the previous module, this training further equipped the police women with new skills to effectively deliver in-house training on P/C VERLT-related issues to other women in police regional stations, as well as to the representatives of community safety forums. The course also taught the participants how to transmit a thorough understanding of violent extremism, radicalization and terrorism, and covered illustrations of the police role through worldwide case studies, both successful and failed attempts. Hence, the training involved a range of practical work, group discussions and scenario-based exercises in order to develop the skills of participants, which will help them to create a rapport with targeted audiences, and share their experiences as trainers. From 12 to 14 September, the Mission brought together around 20 representatives of relevant institutions to a workshop it had organized in close co-operation with the Kosovo Co-ordinator against VERLT and the Security Council Secretariat of the Office of the Prime Minister in order to review and amend the Strategy and Action Plan on Prevention of VERLT 2015-2020. During the workshop, it was jointly agreed to take out a number of activities from the action plan that were deemed irrelevant, and at the same time amend and add a number of other activities to adjust it to the needs and circumstances currently considered priorities in Kosovo. In particular the strategic objective that covers de-radicalization and reintegration of radicalized persons was enriched with new activities. From 1 to 7 October, the Mission also supported the Kosovo Co-ordinator against VERLT and two officials of the Security Council Secretariat within the Office of the Prime Minister in meeting their counterparts from Podgorica, Sarajevo, Skopje and Tirana. These research visits provided an excellent opportunity for the delegation members to familiarize themselves with the security policies in the region, particularly those for P/C VERLT. Additionally, participants learned about the overall engagements and judicial responses of their counterparts, exchanged practices and experiences on the implementation of existing legal documents, and shared information on the current situation, challenges and ways forward. De-radicalization and reintegration of radicalized persons into the society was given a priority in the discussions. On 31 October and 1 November, the Mission delivered a specialized training course on terrorism financing to 17 participants of the FIU, KP, Special Prosecution Office, KAPS and judiciary.
