During 2013, the Office organized a series of “Safe School” events organized in a number of Armenian villages. The main aim of the events was to provide rural juveniles with information about the activities carried out by their regional police department and the department’s structure and functions, as well as to establish, promote and develop a greater understanding and interaction between the police and rural juveniles. Overall, 270 juveniles participated in these events that took place in 9 villages in lively atmosphere that allowed them to socialize and discuss issues in a friendly environment with police officers and organizers of the event. The Office also organized a series of “Police-Student Partnership” events in all Armenian regions. The events aimed to introduce the concept of community policing to the students and police officers in the regions as well as to develop grounds for future co-operation between them. Overall, 146 students and 70 police officers participated in the events. In addition to the above capacity building events, the Office commissioned a public opinion poll at eleven outreach stations in Yerevan to evaluate and measure their performance, evaluate public perception of community policing officers, identify the areas of further improvement, and determine the progress in police-public relationship. Cyber Security/Cybercrime In 2013, the Office continued to support the Working Group under the General Prosecutor’s Office responsible for approximation of Armenian legislation to the requirements of the CoE Convention on Cybercrime. Taking into account that the Republic of Armenia has been in the process of drafting amendments to the Criminal Code, Criminal Procedure Code and related laws in line with the Convention on Cybercrime, the Office hired two national legal experts to support the Working Group in analysing best international experience related to cybercrime and to come up with recommendations on bringing the national legislation on cybercrime in compliance with the Convention. From 13-24 May, the Office, in response to a request of the Armenian Police Educational Complex, organized a two-week basic course on information security which was delivered by an international expert from the University at Albany of the State University of New York. Around 30 police officers from educational institutions attended, as well as other experts from different departments of the Armenian Police, including the General Department of Fight against Organized Crime, the Traffic Police and INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB), also attended. Participants learned of developing trends in information security, best practices and international experience on the subjects related to threats to critical infrastructure, privacy and security policies, as well as technological and legal aspects of information and cyber security. Travel Document Security On 23-24 May, the Office supported a two day seminar aimed at promoting Armenia’s participation in the International Civil Aviation Organization Public Key Directory (ICAO PKD). The event was organized by the TNTD/ ATU, and was based on the OSCE Ministerial Council Decision on Travel Document Security – ICAO Public Key Directory (MC.DEC/11/09). Approximately 20 participants from the Armenian Police, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Territorial Administration, National Security Service, Border Guards, and General Department of Civil Aviation learned how the ICAO PKD functions as a multilateral technical platform to technologically upgrade travel documents and border control procedures. 124
