• The Mission enabled the participation of two senior Kosovo Police experts and policymakers in the “Advancing Women’s Roles in Countering Violent Extremism and Radicalization that Lead to Terrorism (VERLT)” workshop, organized by the Global Counter Terrorism Forum and the Transnational Threats Department of the OSCE Secretariat on 21 and 22 October in Vienna. Community Safety Development The Mission continued its commitment to support the implementation of the Kosovo Community Safety and Community Policing Strategies in order to contribute to the development of an effective and sustainable multi-level community safety and security infrastructure in Kosovo for improving the overall safety, security and quality of life throughout Kosovo. Community Policing In 2014, the Mission supported the Kosovo Police with facilitation of two workshops for reviewing the Community Policing Strategy and Action Plan 2012-2016, which took place on 3 July and 9 December, respectively. The workshops focused on the biannual review of the implementation of the Strategy, providing all actors dealing with community policing with a detailed progress review of the Strategy. Both workshops hosted senior police officers with responsibility in implementing the Strategy alongside the representatives of the Mission, EULEX, ICITAP and local NGOs, where the members of various Kosovo Police pillars reported on the implementation of the Strategy in their respective departments. The findings of these review workshops will form the basis for drafting the assessment report about the current level of the Strategy implementation, which will provide an overview of the progress and the shortcomings to be addressed to improve the implementation process in the future. On 29 September, the Mission facilitated a half-day seminar on community safety infrastructure for 16 Kosovo Police senior operational managers of the Regional Directorate Mitrovica/Mitrovicë North. In line with the Community Policing Strategy and Action Plan 20122016 of the Kosovo Police, the seminar was aimed at providing the regional supervisors, station commanders and middle management with a general overview of the community safety legislation in Kosovo, community safety forums and the requirements and benefits of the successful delivery of community-oriented policing. On 26 November, the Mission facilitated a one-day workshop on Community Policing Strategy and Action Plan 2012-2016 for 19 operational supervisors of the Kosovo Police Regional Directorate Mitrovica/Mitrovicë North. The aim of the workshop was to support the Kosovo Police in the implementation of their Community Policing Strategy by the establishment of the Community Safety Awareness Programme 2014. In line with its objective, the workshop served as both a forum for raising local awareness level of the Programme and as a tool to reinforce the concept of solving problems through working in partnership. In addition, it covered the establishment of the community policing, embedding the intelligence-led policing and community-oriented policing models. In December, the Mission completed a community safety awareness-raising campaign designed to improve the Kosovo Police and communities’ awareness of the Community Policing Strategy and Action Plan 2012-2016. The last activity consisted of handing over nine public information boards to Kosovo Police that are sited outside police headquarters and eight police regional directorates. The purpose of these information boards, which will serve as information hubs and can be easily viewed by the public at key locations across Kosovo, is to be a place for all public information relating to policing and community safety activities, such as leaflets, posters and other publications. Moreover, as part of this campaign, earlier in the year 100 pull-up screens and 6000 B2-size full colour posters to promote the Community 68
