Activities of Field Operations Activities of OSCE Institutions Field operations in South-Eastern Europe concentrated 75% of all police-related activities in 2016 on police development and reform. Within in this field, activities on hate crimes, community policing, police-public relations, crime prevention and police development and reform were the most prevalent. In the field of threats posed by criminal activity, initiatives on countering trafficking in human beings and border security and management received the most attention. The Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) was the only OSCE Institution involved on policerelated activities in 2016. ODIHR continued to promote the inclusion of human rights into the teaching and training curricula of police institutions. A centrepiece of such activities continued to be the Office’s comprehensive Training against Hate Crimes for Law Enforcement (TAHCLE) programme. In 2016, ODIHR focused on implementing the TAHCLE programme in a number of participating States at the national and local level. Other ODIHR activities supported the fight against hate crimes, as well as a focus on activities related to respecting human rights in counter-terrorism and VERLT. In Eastern Europe, the Mission in Moldova focused 80% of their police-related activities on police development and reform, specifically in the area of gender-based and domestic violence, with an additional 20% of police-related activities focused on countering trafficking in human beings and migration-related crime. The Project Co-ordinator in Ukraine focused over 60% of their activities on police development and reform, mostly placing emphasis on initiatives related to community policing, police-public relations and crime prevention. Countering trafficking in human beings remained the dominant area of police assistance regarding threats posed by criminal activity. In the South Caucasus, the Office in Yerevan devoted the vast majority of their police-related activities to general police development and reform, with a significant number of these activities devoted to community policing, policepublic relations and crime prevention and gender-based and domestic violence. Half of the activities related to threats posed by criminal activity focused on combating cybercrime. Over 70% of field operations’ police-related activities in Central Asia focused on police development and reform. There were however some notable differences between each of the countries in this region. While the Centre in Ashgabat and the Project Co-ordinator in Uzbekistan focused their initiatives mostly on threats posed by criminal activity, the Centre in Bishkek and the Office in Tajikistan concentrated on police development and reform, with an even split between the two in the Programme Office in Astana. While the Office in Tajikistan conducted mostly activities on police development and reform within SSR, the Centre in Bishkek rather focused on community policing, police-public relations and crime prevention, a complete switch from what occurred in 2015. Within the field of threats posed by criminal activity, almost one-quarter of all events were on financial investigations, anti-money laundering and seizures of criminal proceeds due to a large number of activities on this topic conducted by the Project Co-ordinator in Uzbekistan, while organized crime and illicit drugs and chemical precursors were the focus of a number of activities across the Central Asia region. 8
