Public Order Management Between 2 May and 18 June, the PRP, in co-ordination with other stakeholders, assisted the MoI and the Police Academy’s Training Centre on Public Disorder Prevention and Conflict Resolution in organizing the theoretical and practical training for public order management units in the provinces. In total, 634 police officers and 14 new local instructors were trained on subjects, such as: safety of negotiators; evacuation of injured persons in the case of aggressive crowds; and seizure of instigators. The trainers submitted to the MoI a report with their recommendations on how to improve the harmonization of internal MoI documents and the police training capacity. An international expert from Lithuania delivered a training seminar on “Management Skills During Public Disorders” for approximately 36 senior police officers of the Main Police Directorates of Bishkek city and Osh city. The two-day training course for each Police Directorate covered issues of responsibilities of senior MoI management during extraordinary situations. Criminal Police The project activities supporting criminal police in 2011 mainly focused on capacity-building of forensic experts and investigators, and the further development of analysis-based policing in the Kyrgyz Republic. A number of training courses conducted for the forensic experts addressed SONDA electronic fingerprinting, ballistic examinations of firearms and ammunitions and practical aspects of collecting DNA evidence. In order to improve practical skills of the MoI’s investigators the PRP also rendered advisory support of international experts through training courses on counterfeit products expertise and different techniques of investigation in providing detection and investigation of crimes. The latter training was conducted by the MoI’s instructors across the country with 200 police investigators participating. In order to strengthen police officers’ knowledge on crime investigation, 500 electronic guidelines with updated law regulations for investigators were prepared and distributed to regional police units of the MoI. The PRP provided also legal literature, special devices (police protecting lines, torches, rulers’ tape measures) for the investigators of Bishkek city and the Chuy province. 47 sets of crime search kits were handed over to the MoI with the aim of enhancing investigators’ crime scene management capacity in remote districts. Four roundtables (two in the Issyk-kul and two in the Jalal-Abad provinces) for the chiefs of regional forensic and investigation police units were organized to promote interaction between these units. Around 100 participants discussed crime investigation and crime detection practices and how co-operation between the units can be improved. As a result of the event joint recommendations for further strengthening the police were worked out and presented to the MoI. An international expert from Sweden conducted a five-day assessment of the MoI’s Operational Analysis Department. As a result of the assessment recommendations were prepared for the further development of analysis-based policing of the Kyrgyz MoI. The recommendations were planned to be included in the 2012 projects. Informational materials on the use of analysis-based policing and modern techniques such as Telephone Analysis were printed with financial support of the OSCE and distributed to police officers. 108
