The TNTD/CC continued to promote co-operation with relevant international and regional organizations with a view to creating added value, avoiding duplication of efforts and further enriching the content available through POLIS. Throughout 2013, the POLIS team successfully employed online video conferencing to communicate with the POLIS focal points in the field operations, which allowed for a costeffective way to identify and collect relevant materials for uploading to POLIS. The TNTD/CC designed and developed two introductory e-learning modules, as part of the TNTD/SPMU project on combating child sexual abuse online. Furthermore, the TNTD/CC created and maintained online forums to facilitate drafting guidebooks on: Preventing Terrorism and Countering Violent Extremism and Radicalization that Lead to Terrorism: a Community-Policing Approach (jointly with ODIHR); Good Practices Guide on Non-nuclear Critical Energy Infrastructure Protection from Terrorist Attacks Focusing on Threats Emanating from Cyberspace; and Police Reform within the Framework of Criminal Justice System Reform (see also chapters 2.2, 2.3 and Appendix 1). POLIS online forums were also a collaboration platform for preparing the report on the implementation of the MC Decision 4/12, and ongoing support through the online forum for the network of National Focal Points of the Border Security and Management Unit. TNTD/CC POLIS team, on request of the Border Management Staff College in Dushanbe, revised the introductory module on cybercrime and delivered it to the students of two courses during 2013. ****** 2.2 TNTD/Strategic Police Matters Unit Background The primary role of the TNTD/SPMU is to provide police-related support to the OSCE Secretary General, the Chairmanship-in-Office, and upon their request, to the OSCE participating States. The TNTD/SPMU’s mission is to support police-related activities in all OSCE participating States as part of the rule of law and fundamental democratic principles and, through assessment and expert advice, to contribute to the development of accountable police agencies that protect and serve the public. The TNTD/SPMU’s long-term goals aim to provide a democratic vision of policing for the entire OSCE region and put that vision to work by assisting OSCE participating States in police capacity and institution-building and improving police performance within the broader objective of strengthening national criminal justice systems.
