From 3-14 June, five KAF experts received a two-week on-the-job training on “Audio Voice
Analysis” conducted by the DSPS at the KAF premises. The purpose of this training was to
provide the KAF experts with the knowledge, techniques and methods on how to use the
tools for the acoustic analysis of speech and to perform voice identification. This specialized
training was a follow-up to the “Speech and Voice Analysis Training” delivered by the DSPS
in 2010.
In co-operation with the Turkish National Criminal Laboratory, the DSPS organized an onthe-job training for forensic and police officers on audio voice and visual forensic analysis,
which was held from 2-6 September in Ankara. This training aimed at equipping the officers
with a better understanding and the required skills on computerized evidence analysis. The
officers were trained in the areas of video and audio analysis; evidence enhancement
techniques; as well as legal methods and contemporary practices of computerized analysis.
Finally, the training provided the officers with an opportunity to work alongside their Turkish
counterparts on evidence examination and in preparing the reports for real cases examined.
Following this activity, the DSPS organized an additional on-the-job training for three forensic
officers on trace evidence analysis, which was held from 23-27 September in Ankara. This
one-week training provided KAF officers with the legal methods and up-to-date practices of
trace evidence analysis and evidence enhancement techniques.
From 1-5 July, the DSPS conducted a training course in “IT Forensic Analysis” for five KAF
officers at their laboratory. The purpose of this course was to train the participants on
thorough examination of digital media, and on clearly documenting, controlling, preparing
and presenting examination results. At the same time, the training particularly concentrated
on the practical identification of where and how data is stored, as well as on recovering and
interpreting the data
From 10-14 June, the DSPS provided a ToT course on “Robbery Investigation Techniques”

robbery investigations; advanced techniques on witness interviews; crime scene processing;
evidence evaluation and case tracking.
From 14-21 April, the DSPS organized a study visit to Turkey for ten commanders of the KP
Special Operation Unit (SOU) to monitor operations on crowd control management. The KP
SOU representatives were provided with an opportunity to learn about the TNP concept on
crowd control and obtain practical information on this subject from their Turkish counterparts.
By observing all phases of police operations using crowd control tactics in improvised
demonstrations, the KP SOU commanders were able to compare the crowd control
management concept employed in Kosovo to that of Turkey, and to identify areas for
improvement. In addition, the KP SOU commanders also took part in the planning and
implementation of a sports event safety operational plan, which took place during a Turkish
super league football match.
From 22-26 April, 20 managers of the KP SOU and its support teams attended a five-day
training course on “Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM)” delivered by the DSPS. The
purpose of the training was to familiarize KP managers with the concept of CISM, and
contained topics ranging from the definition of stress, signs and symptoms of critical incident
stress, effects of stress on men and women, effective methods for managing stress and the
use of force. A special focus was placed on providing the participants with the knowledge on
