information. Through a series of meetings and a final workshop, the Mission supported the Steering Group in finalizing the document that contributes to the enhanced capacity of Councils to share information and consequently receive clearer guidelines and recommendations from the central level. Similarly, the Mission facilitated a process of creating the reporting guidelines for Councils by supporting a sustainable reporting mechanism for these safety forums. Furthermore, on 12 November the Mission supported the Kosovo Police and the Steering Group for Monitoring Implementation of the Community Safety Strategy and Action Plan 2011-2016 with a simulation exercise on reporting and information sharing between the chairpersons of Local Public Safety Committees, the Kosovo Police and Municipal Community Safety Councils. As a result of the joint work from September to November, technical and advisory support was provided to the Steering Group and Kosovo Police in creating a sustainable reporting mechanism that contributes to more effective monitoring and evaluation of community safety forums in the future. With nearly all Committee chairpersons present at the workshop and seven regional community policing co-ordinators supporting their work, using real-life scenarios related to community safety in Kosovo, the Mission introduced the participants to a reporting tool prepared by the Kosovo Police, who were also authorized by the Steering Group to amend and finalize the document. Conclusively, the reporting tool allows for accurate, timely and effective information flow on community safety concerns and initiatives from the local to the municipal level. In addition, on 3 December the Mission supported the Ministry of Internal Affairs in organizing a Conference for Mayors as Chairpersons of the Municipal Community Safety Councils, in order to assess the progress and challenges of the Councils and present the newly developed reporting mechanisms for municipal and local community safety forums. During the conference (which was attended by the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs, members of the Steering Group for Monitoring the Implementation of the Community Safety Strategy and Action Plan 2011-2016, municipality mayors and the OSCE Head of Mission in Kosovo), the Steering Group presented a report on performance of the Councils since the beginning of the implementation of the strategy. On behalf of the Steering Group Strategy Co-ordinator, the representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs presented the two Meeting Report tools for Councils and the Local Public Safety Committees, which will both help to better track the pace of the implementation of the Strategy. The Mission took an active part in assisting in the drafting of the aforementioned tools, as well as in printing and distributing the tools to all municipality mayors and Local Public Safety Committees chairpersons who are members of the Councils. The Mission expects that these comprehensive reporting mechanisms on community safety forums activities, in both local and municipal levels, will be established and functional as of January 2015. Finally, the Mission supported the designing and printing of an illustrated Informative Brochure on Community Policing for northern Kosovo, which was published in four languages. The brochure describes the benefits of implementing the community policing concept in northern municipalities, including the establishment of Local Public Safety Committees and Municipal Community Safety Councils, as well as the Mission-led support to the Kosovo Police in capacity building for community safety forums in the recent years. In co-operation with the Kosovo Police Regional Directorate Mitrovica/Mitrovicë North, the Mission presented the brochure to the mayors and the police station commanders of four municipalities in northern Kosovo from 9-12 December. The brochure allows for a clearer and more determined approach of the Kosovo Police toward mixed communities residing in northern Kosovo in 2015, when the establishment of local and municipal safety forums is to occur, following the expected positive political developments. 73
