Chart nr. 11: Measures and recommendations from PIK (2015- 2017)

During 2017, PIK investigated cases of different types and nature. The five (5) most frequentcases, based on the criminal reports that were investigated during 2017, are presentedbelow in the Chart:Chart nr. 12. The five most frequent offences under investigation by PIK for 2017

Over the past three years (2015-2017), almost the same offences prevail in the list of five(5) most frequent offences that are under the competence of PIK for investigation. Thedownfall trend of cases involving acts of use of force by police officers such as "Light bodilyinjury" or "Ill-treatment during the exercise of official duty" is seen as positive, which PIKconsiders to have resulted because of the frequency of inspections undertaken by PIK,qualitative investigations in the field and from the commitment of the Police Managementto provide additional training related to this field of police duties.

Number of Inspections and Recommendations 2015-2017


The issuance of this plan has gone through several phases, taking into account many factorsand circumstances. The plan has set out some inspection objectives, which derived fromthe organization's strategic objectives. Prior to each inspection, a work program detailingthe field operational duties of teams performing the inspectionwas also issued. At theconclusion of the inspection processes, reports were produced with analyses andassessments on the achievement of inspection objectives.Inspections carried out during 2017 are as follows:1. Management of the police vehicles fleet and accompanying equipment (regular);2. Management of traffic patrols and road safety (regular);3. Procurement management in Kosovo Police (regular);4.

Main findings from the inspections carried out during 2017

Inspection of the police vehicle fleet and accompanying equipmentThe inspection covered a two (2) year period,namely 2015 and 2016. The findings show that thefleet of vehicles is obsolete with a contigent ofinactive vehicles due to non-functionality. Theinspection has pointed out the need for increasedcare in maintenance but also increased care in theuse by their drivers. Stagnations have beenobserved in implementing the VehicleReplacementPlan. Efforts are needed to pushforward the process of alienating unused vehiclesand take away non-functional vehicles.Positive movements are noted in terms of police vehicles control before their use and the inthe reduction of cases requiring the vehicles to be sent to the operators. Performanceindicators show an increased productivity and efficiency of vehicle maintenance servicescompared to recent years despite that the Vehicle Park beingobsolete.Performance concerning the inclusion of official vehicles in traffic accidents is consideredunacceptable and this is considered as the most negative performance in the recent years.The tendency of untimely reporting the accidents and incidents involving police officers atthe Accident Office requires serious treatment. Progress has been made towards equippingvehicles with a number of accompanying equipment and operational documents.PIK has also verified the fulfilment of recommendations given in the latest inspections andhas ascertained that out of 11 recommendations given in the two (2) past inspections, one(1) of them has been fully implemented, three (3) have been met to a large extent(generally), one (1) has been partially implemented and six (6) have not beenimplemented. In the final inspection Report of this field were made 2 recommendations,which have been accepted as grounded and sustained by the leaders of the police structure.


Inspection of traffic patrols and road safety managementThe inspection covered the two (2) year period 2015 and 2016, and with regard to humanresource capacities for covering areas of responsibility, the findings provide an insight thatthe stations are experiencing difficulties in establishing full-time 24 hourpatrolteams.There are some shortcomings in the proper inclusion of information in the radiologs, which mostly relate to the lack of detailed data on police activities.The Police have issued the Strategic Development Plan and other annual plans that guideactivities toward improving the traffic situation, by defining priorities based on theNational Road Safety Strategy.An important point towards creating conditions for quality and efficient Police workremains the fulfilment of needs for technical equipment that enables quality service inincreasing traffic safety, known as technical equipment for implementation of legalmeasures. There is a need for a more active approach to address black spots, towards theend of their identification process, being road safety risk factors.Adding of pro-active police road safetymeasures, in order to create road safetyconditions, has been assessed as positive. At thelevel of stations and regional road traffic units,it is noted a poor condition of providing patrolteams with devices such speed measuring speeddevices and devices to measures the level ofalcohol in people.From the inspection carried out, it resulted in that out of six (6) recommendations made inthe previous inspection, two (2) of them were fully implemented, two (2) are underimplementation and two (2) were partially implemented.In the final inspection Report of this field were made six (6) recommendations, which havebeen accepted as grounded and sustained by the leaders of the police structure.Compliance has been achieved to fulfil these recommendations in accordance with theestablished Action Plan.


Inspection of the assessment of the efficiency of the jointtraffic policing services ofthe Kosovo Police and the Albanian State PoliceThis inspection covered the performance of two respective road police forces during thesummer season. The General Kosovo Police Directorate (GPD) and the General Directorateof State Police (GDSP) have undertaken the necessary concrete preparatory actionsregarding the implementation of the Memorandum of Cooperation between the twocountries.The signatory parties have drafted operational orders that define the concrete operationalobjectives and actions of both countries’ police structures towards the implementation andenforcement of the Memorandum.From 01.07.2017, six (6) patrol teams havebeen engaged from the KP during the two(2) month period, which have assisted injoint patrol teams with the Albanian ones.The joint patrol teams of both police forceshave controlled and monitored the roadtraffic, by being positioned in static pointsand in locations identified as 'black spots'.During the summer season, there has been asignificant increase in police activity andpolice performance in road axes where jointpatrolling services were developed.Performance indicators show that during 2017 there has been an increased number of jointpolice patrols, increased control points and increased number of fines imposed for trafficoffenses. Compared to the last year, during this summer season, there has been a decreasednumber of traffic accidents caused in the areas where joint patrol services have beenconducted. Within this area of responsibility, there have been no accidents with seriousconsequences, as well as a decrease in the number of accidents with serious body injuriesand a decrease in the number of accidents with minor body injuries.Road Safety Indicators show that during this season there has been a slight increase in thenumber of road accidents with material damage compared to the same season last year.The inspection has pointed out that police patrols were equipped with vehicles, standardofficial uniforms and other personal equipment.30 | POLICE INSPECTORATE OF KOSOVO

A lack of technical devices to measure motor vehicles speed and radio-communicationdevices was noticed. Motor vehicles speed measuring devices owned by the KP could notbe used in joint patrols within the Albanian territory because they were not calibrated bythe competent institution of the Republic of Albania. The failure to supply all police patrolswith police equipment for handling traffic accidentsshould also be noted. The lack of photocameras, floodlights for lighting accident sites and tape meter is evident.Citizens interviewed by the PIK team and the Internal Affairs and Complaints Service haveexpressed a positive opinion regarding the joint patrolling of both police and havewelcomed such an action. They expressed satisfaction and supported the presence of suchpolice unitstowardroad policing cooperation and road safety. A significant number statedto lack sufficient knowledge regarding organization of joint patrols, while they considersafety situation along the roads as good.None of the contacted citizens complained regarding the behavior of patrol officers in theseroads, but there were certain individuals who did not have sufficient knowledge about whothey could address should they considerthat their rights have been violated in a givensituation.The inspection carried out resulted that out of five (5) recommendations left by theprevious inspection, two (2) of them have been met and three (3) others were not met atall. In the final inspection report of this area, six (6) recommendations have been made,which the leaders of the two police structures have accepted as grounded and sustainable.Agreement has been reached to meet the recommendations set out in the Action Plan.


Procurement management inspection in Kosovo PoliceThis inspection covered the activities of the Contracting Authority for the two (2) yearperiod, 2015 and 2016. The findings provide an overview that the Procurement Directoratehas the necessary human and professional capacity to meet the needs and requirements aswell as to carry out procurement activities within the competences stipulated by the Lawon Public Procurement (LPP). The staff engaged in the Directorate is estimated to havesufficient professional capacity, because they are supported by adequate training as well ascertification programs. The inspection has highlighted a goodcooperation and coordination between somestakeholders involved or related toprocurement functions. The Directorate hascarried out and issued the ProcurementPlanning on time, however it has reflected theneed to be more inclusive, sustainable andsubstantial in the future. The Directorate hasfulfilled its annual reporting to the PublicProcurement Regulatory Commission.A progress has been identified in keepingprocurement files, either as content or as an arrangement and placement in adequatespaces. Folders in the form of a Summary Register are fuller and more complete. There arepositive moves in timely preparation of tender dossiers, setting deadlines for submission oftenders, as well as preparation of technical specifications and reference terms. There issome mobilization in terms of eliminating some of the phenomena that have been incontradiction with the current legislation, such as: filling in tender dossiers by the samepersons, signing contracts after the supplies were made and limited competition.Publication of contract notices has been made in all cases examined; there is a positivemove both in terms of the beginning and ending of the examination period, evaluation andcomparison of tenders within the timeframes. Likewise, no contract was signed beforetime.Work should be done on issuing more sustainable procurement plans, in the generation ofregisters of contacted economic operators, in issuing quoted price minutes, issuing ortimely filing of tender dossiers when submitting applications for them.


One can notice shortcomingsin the adherence of tender opening time-limits and in thesigning the tender opening minutes by the respective procurement persons. There havebeen several cases examined wherein the commissions did not have the necessary accessto evaluatethe tenders, based on the defined selection criteria. Several procurementactivities, whose contract award notices were published after the expiration of time limits,have also been examined. It is necessary to consider the guidelines and rules in respectingthe guidance on the steps in appointing project managers, issuing and signing contractmanagement plans and issuing purchase orders.Out of the 22 recommendations left by the previous inspection, 15 recommendations weremet, four (4) of them are largely met (generally), two (2) were partially met, while one (1)has not been met at all.In the final inspection report of this area, nine (9) recommendations have been putforward, which have been accepted by the police structure leaders as grounded andsustainable. The agreement was reached for the fulfillment of these recommendationsaccording to the established Action Plan.


Inspection of crime investigationand detection management, and caseadministrationThis inspection covered activities of directorates and central investigation divisions, for thetwo (2) year period, 2015 and 2016. The findings provide an insight that the currentstructure enables a distribution of tasks and operational actions towards the effectiveprevention and combating of crime. Operational police activities rely on a broad set of lawsand by-laws. The Kosovo Criminal Code, the Criminal Procedure Code of Kosovo, theJuvenile Justice Code and the Law on Police are the main legal basis governing the policeinvestigation work. The Investigation Department staff structure has not yet beenstabilized, as there are still problems with the placement of qualified staff and filling ofpositions according to the Authorized List.The Investigation Department is considered tohave sufficient professional capacities tooppose the crime level, as the investigativestaff is prepared owing to basic and advancedtraining programs. Regarding the crimeevidence and the involvement in criminalactivities of individuals and criminal groups,there is a need to increase the cooperation ofthe Police-Prosecution-Court Triangle in thefield of feedback regarding outcomes of theinitiated criminal cases. A number ofinvestigative files lacked the informative policereport for the State Prosecution.The forms used within the files are not unique within the directorates and there is nouniform standard of drafting letters in these directorates. In some files, there arestatements that do not comply with the suspectsreserved, witnesses respectively. Some ofthem containing the rights of the interviewees, those rights are not in conformity with theCPCK. There are unsigned statements by the recipients of the statements and the suspectsor witnesses interviewed.Investigative files related to arrested persons included decisions on the detention of thearrested person. Inspected cases are divided according to case competence. Criminalreports have been prepared satisfactorily and contain the necessary substantive elementsin order for them to be submitted to the Prosecution.


Police reports reflect an increase of investigative activity, alongside increasing levels ofcrime. Performance indicators reflect a positive trend in fighting crime. There has been anincrease in the number of charges filed with the Prosecution, the number of arrested, thenumber of operations, the number of raids and the inspected premises. DIECC and DTNIremain the directorates with the largest number of cases with which they have beencharged in the last two years. Increased mobilization is needed in providing more feedbackto the DIA, by investigation directorates.With regard to some files containing material related to crime scene management andhandling of evidence, it is estimated that the actions taken by the criminological techniqueteams have been developed in accordance with the provisions foreseen by the SOP. Theinspection outcomes regarding the field of conservation, identification and handling ofevidence are encouraging at many points. In the Central Evidence Room, the items andevidence associated with the selected files were easily identified, packed and markedaccordingly.As far as evidences are concerned, it is noted that Book of Evidence and ElectronicEvidence are maintained. Physical conditions within the Central Room are deemed tocomply with standards. Criminal records are kept in separate spaces within eachinvestigative directorate. It is intended that they are kept in the ownership of the fund-maker for up to two (2) years, provided that after this period, when deemed to be'completed', they are submitted to the Central Archives for storage under storage terms.The conditions under which files are kept in adapted rooms are not satisfactory.From the inspection performed, it resulted that out of ten (10) recommendations left in theprevious inspection, six (6) of them were partially met, three (3) were not met at all, andone (1) recommendation was not evaluated in this inspection phase. In the final inspectionreport of this area (9) recommendations have been put forward, which were accepted bythe leaders of the police structure as grounded and sustainable. Agreement was reached formeeting these recommendations according to the Action Plan set forth.


Inspection of border protection management, control and migrationThis inspection covered the activities of the Border Department during 2015 and 2016. Thefindings of the inspection show that the Border Police has at its disposal the entirenecessary legal infrastructure, upon which the performance of operational tasks is based.Actions that are being implemented are intended to be undertaken based on practices thatare in the spirit of Schengen standards.The inspection highlights the need of stabilizing the structure with human resources as setout in the Authorized Personnel List. There is stagnation in meeting the staff trainingagenda, lagging behind in terms of conditions for re-certification and internal training.Added attention is needed to the appointment of candidates for participation in trainingsabroad. Personnel refreshing policies should be reviewed based on the age criteria and thestimulation of gender diversity. Progress has been made in advancingequipment used by police stationpersonnel related to the control ofpersons, vehicles and documents. There isa good presentation in keeping recordsand attention to stamps.The vehicles condition is consideredunsatisfactory, affecting the decline oftheir active power and this may beinfluencing the efficiency of bordercontrol.Border Police is included in the Integrated Border Management (IBM) with severaldomestic and international stakeholders, therefore based on the Action Plan of Strategy onIBM 2013-2018their cooperation extends to the level of the authority, within IBM and theinternational field. There has been a decline in terms of joint meetings with thestakeholders of the three levels of cooperation. Operations carried out by police units haveincreased, while the joint ones with the IBM stakeholders have declined.Agreements on joint patrols along the borderline are in force with all the neighboringcountries, with the exception of Serbia. There was an increase in the number of jointpatrols with police in the neighboring countries.


Policies for receiving and handing over border patrol duties within the border surveillancestations should be reviewed, taking into consideration their technical capacities. Control ofpersons and vehicles has increased, and so has the number of second linecontrols. Vërmicaand Hani i Elezit continue to have the largest load per station/officer. Regarding the controlof migration, there has been an increase in the number of fines imposed againstperpetrators regarding the movement of foreign nationals. The activities of the Directoratefor Migration and Foreigners marked an increase regarding inspections of suspiciousbusinesses, institutions and locations.In the area of crime investigation, special attention should be given to fingerprintingsuspects and issuing reports for the State Prosecution in cases of reasonable suspicion thatcriminal offenses have been committed. Reports show that there is a decrease in thenumber of offenses related to cross-border crime. Out of all the cases handled, there was adecline in smuggling with migrants, unauthorized border crossing and illegal possession ofweapons, whereas narcotics smuggling, smuggling of goods and smuggling of animals haveincreased. There is a downward trend in the number of arrests for various criminaloffenses, too.Despite the fact that the Border Management System (BMS) is functional in all BCPs, it facessome technical problems. Updating the data in the Stop List represents a problem, bringingborder control issues due to the fact that they are not updated or sufficientlyupdated.As far as working conditions in police facilities are concerned, some of them faceinsufficient work space. No standards seems to have been created regarding the conditionsto be met by any border station or facility, specifying special premises for meeting rooms,interview rooms, evidence rooms, etc. Some stations perform activities in containerswithout sufficient working space.No weaknesses were noted regarding the maintenance of facilities. Progress was made ininstalling the camera monitoring system in facilities. Efforts must be made towards theimprovement of conditions, including hydrants, air conditioning, fire control, alarm etc.Based on the inspection conducted, it resulted that out of 12 recommendations left in theprevious inspection, eight (8) of them were fully implemented, two (2) were largelyimplemented (generally), one (1) partially implemented and one (1) was not evaluated asthe conditions and circumstances under which Police developed changed and patrols werestructured.In the final inspection Report of this area, eight (8) recommendations have been made,which are accepted by the leaders of the police structure as grounded and sustainable.Agreement was achieved for the fulfillment of these recommendations according to theAction Plan set forth.


Inspection of the use of police vehicles outside official working hoursThis inspection covered the period ofvehicle use by police officers on a randomdate, 21.11.2017. The inspection coveredthe inspection of vehicles used by theemployees of General Police Directorateand RPDs. The findings of the inspectionreflect that the use of official policevehicles is regulated by sub-legal acts,which regulate the use of official vehicles.This legal infrastructure is well completedand harmonized and does not constitutean obstacle to the performance of policeduties, but allows the police authority toexercise adequate control over the use of vehicles efficiently, effectively and economically.PIK has been interested in verifying the use of official vehicles beyond official workinghours and in this regard has verified around 100 vehicles used on the day of inspection.From their verification, it was found that a large number of them were used based onauthorizations issued by the General Director of Police, some were engaged in operationaltasks, and a number of them, in the day of inspection, did not justify the official use ofvehicle with an authorization. The phenomenon of not renewing authorizations in due timeby the police approval authoritywas noted.Three (3) recommendations have been drawn from this inspection, which will serve toimprove the performance, eliminate the weaknesses, and rationalize the use of officialvehicles.






Inspection on the performance of police duties in the field of the management ofpolice buildings, infrastructure and associated assetsThis inspection covered the two-year period, 2015-2016, and the findings reflect thatKosovo Police owns and uses a large number of real estate (buildings, residential buildings,shooting ranges and lands/parcels).KP has a register (catalog) with the data onproperty under its ownership or use, adocument that does not have sufficient andcomprehensive information.No document, reflecting the security ofbuildings and property in case of eventualdisasters, has been found. Emergencyequipment (hydrants, fire extinguishers andlighting rod system) have not been testedwithin the defined time limits.There are shortcomings in projects prepared by contracted economic operators, making itdifficult to implement the concerned projects in the field of construction and renovation.Based on the Strategic Development Plan, where standardization of police buildings isforeseen, positive moves in meeting the strategic objectiveare noted.The inspection showed that, out of four (4) recommendations left by the previousinspection, one (1) recommendation was fulfilled and three (3) were partially fulfilled.


VI.
