4. POLICE-RELATED ACTIVITIES OF FIELD OPERATIONS SOUTH-EASTERN EUROPE 4.1 Presence in Albania Background Based on its mandate, the OSCE Presence in Albania (the Presence) assists the Albanian law enforcement agencies, in particular the Albanian State Police (ASP), including the Border Management Police. This support is conducted through the Security Co-operation Department, which comprises three international personnel and four national personnel. In 2014, assistance was provided through a broad range of activities within a co-ordinated framework with other international actors. The Presence worked closely with the authorities on the development of the new draft Police Law and police educational development. The Presence also provided various training courses, technical support, monitoring, mentoring and advice.

Most of the participants had been absent from service for many years and had recently been reappointed to their posts. This training course, internationally accredited by the Institute for Leadership and Management in the UK, equipped the participants with management skills tailored to Albanian needs and suitable for a modern police service. In order to achieve sustainability, potential future trainers were identified to become part of an ongoing train-the-trainer programme. This will enable the Presence to gradually withdraw from this programme as sustainability is developed. 51
