From 10 to 21 December, the DSPS provided the KP with a ToT on “Juvenile Delinquency and Child Protection”. The course focused on the needs of the KP investigators in dealing with juvenile delinquents more effectively and in line with international standards. During this interactive training, which took place at KAPS, the participants learned about developing a preventative strategy and how to investigate criminal cases where children and youth are involved as victims, offenders, witnesses or information providers. While implementing the training, the Department co-operated with UNICEF and assisted both UNICEF and the KP in the implementation of the 2013 plan to establish Child Protection Units in Kosovo. Community Safety Development The DSPS continued its commitment to enhancing community policing and improving interethnic relations by supporting the development of an effective and sustainable multi-level community safety and security infrastructure in Kosovo. From 27-29 March, the Department supported the KP in the process of drafting the Community Policing Strategy and Action Plan 2012-2016 (CPS&AP 2012-2016), which aims to improve the overall performance of the KP, strengthen the partnership between all communities and the police, and to increase the trust and confidence of the general public by embracing the community policing philosophy within the entire police organization. The CPS&AP 2012-2016 was expected to have an impact on community policing as it sets out the principles and the future directions for the implementation of community policing within the entire organization. The CPS&AP 2012-2016 was approved in April 2012. With the aim of implementing the Kosovo strategies for Community Safety and for Community Policing, the DSPS supported the development of both training and information material to be used throughout the KP, as well as the delivery of a short training programme for a number of pre-certified trainers. From 10-14 September, 22 KP trainers were trained on the content and delivery of this programme held at KAPS. Subsequently, they began to deliver these training courses in all regions to all KP officers. It was expected that all KP officers up to the rank of lieutenant would have completed the training during 2013. In addition, the DSPS planned to develop and deliver a further awareness-raising programme on the new CPS&AP 2012-2016 for Middle and Senior KP officers in 2013. In addition to delivering its training to pre-certified trainers, the DSPS formally handed over its training material to KAPS, which was subsequently incorporated into the Cadet Training curriculum. The new Cadet Training on the basis of the new curriculum started at the end of September 2012. The DSPS also assisted the KP in the design, content and production of a joint police/public information leaflet on the new CPS&AP 2012-2016. 72,000 copies of the information leaflet, produced in five languages: Albanian, Serbian, Roma, Turkish and English, was considered to be a useful awareness tool in relation to the new strategy. On 15 October, the distribution of the leaflets to all KP officers and to members of the public by the KP Community Police officers and Local Public Safety Committees (LPSCs) started throughout Kosovo. The purpose of the leaflet campaign was to raise awareness about the existence of the new CPS&AP 2012-2016 and to provide better access to the information for both the police and civilian population. On 6 November, the DSPS participated in the press launch of the new CPS&AP 2012-2016 held at the KP headquarters. In addition, the Department enabled the KP to conduct a round table review of the ongoing implementation of the new CPS&AP 2012-2016, which took place on 14 December at the OMIK headquarters. The review was held to establish the level of progress, to identify any shortcomings, obstructions or difficulties in the implementation of the new CPS&AP 2012-2016 and to provide recommendations for the future implementation and development of the CPS&AP 2012-2016. 55
