South - Easte rn Europ e 4.3 Mission in Kosovo Introduction The OSCE Mission in Kosovo (the Mission) is mandated with the protection and promotion of human and community rights, as well as with democratization and public safety sector development. The Mission regularly delivers advanced and specialized training courses for law enforcement agencies to further improve their capacities. In 1999, the OSCE was mandated with training the new police service to uphold human rights and democratic policing principles. To do so, the Mission’s Department of Police Education and Development (DPED) created an institution called the Kosovo Police (KP) School that, in 2006, evolved into the Kosovo Centre for Public Safety Education and Development and, in 2011, into the Kosovo Academy for Public Safety (KAPS). In order to better reflect the broader context of its programmes in justice, safety, and security sector development, DPED itself became the Department for Security and Public Safety (DSPS) in 2006.
