In order to increase public awareness about community safety forums, the DSPS supported the publishing of the Kosovo Community Safety Related Legislation booklet, which consists of all community safety related legal documents in the Albanian, Serbian and English languages. The dissemination of the booklet was launched in November at a press conference led by the Deputy Minister of MoIA/National Coordinator of the Steering Group for Monitoring the Implementation of the CSS&AP 2011-2016 and the OMiK Head of Mission. In close co-operation with the Department for Human Rights and Communities, the DSPS was going to distribute the booklet to all members of MCSCs, LPSCs, CSATs, municipal authorities and other relevant stakeholders in the following months. Training Development From 11-15 March, the DSPS monitored and evaluated the “Investigative Interviewing Training” organized and conducted by KP. In line with the DSPS’s approach to ensure sustainability in training capacities, KP started running its in-service investigative interviewing courses through utilizing the trainers previously trained by the DSPS and the comprehensive and tailored curriculum, which the DSPS had handed over to KP in 2012. This approach was also expected to ensure sustainable long-term impact onto the competency, knowledge, qualification and operational skills of the officers assigned to investigative duties. During this exercise, the DSPS’s in-house experts were pleased with the performance of the KP instructors in transferring the training content to their peers. The DSPS organized a study visit of six representatives from the Kosovo Agency on Forensic (KAF) to the Turkish National Police Department of Criminal Research and Technical Investigation, which took place from 26-29 March in Ankara. The visit aimed at familiarizing the managing staff of KAF with the accreditation process of the Forensic Laboratory in Kosovo. During the visit, the senior staff of KAF gained knowledge and understanding of the criteria for appropriate assessment and accreditation of laboratories providing forensic services in line with international standards. In addition, KAF representatives participated in the “4th International Forensic Science, Cyber Security and Surveillance Technologies Conference & Exhibition”, organized by EuroForensics in Istanbul. The DSPS continued to provide capacity building support to the KAF and KP through various training courses. In co-operation with the Turkish National Police (TNP), the DSPS organized on-the-job-training on “DNA Analysis” for three KAF experts, which was delivered by an expert from TNP Forensic Department from 15-19 April in Ankara. Throughout the training, participants were able to apply their newly gained skills on real cases and evidence based on learning-by-doing techniques. This training came as a follow-up activity of the “DNA Extraction” and “Forensic Genetic Statics” trainings, conducted by the DSPS in 2010. From 6-10 May, the DSPS organized an on-the-job training on “Questioned Document and Hand Writing Analysis” for three experts of KAF, which was delivered by the Forensic Department of the TNP in Ankara. This training was a follow-up activity to the course on “Questioned Document Analysis, Printing Techniques and Ink Analysis” delivered by the DSPS in 2009, and covered topics such as: techniques of analysing questioned documents; handwriting analysis methods; features of handwriting; writing evidential reports and presentation in courts. Afterwards, the DSPS continued to closely monitor the performance of KAF staff at their workplace in order to assess and evaluate the sustainability and efficiency of its previous training activities involving the questioned document analysis. According to this assessment, the forensic experts examined number of materials according to the procedures and information provided to them in the previous trainings, with successful results.
