THE STATEMENT OF GENERAL DIRECTOR

The Development Strategy and Action Plan 2014 – 2018 is guiding document of the development

and action that the Academy staff wants to bring into life in the coming years. Developmental

Strategic objectives and the Action Plan activities are built in progression for more than twenty

months.

This long period of writing this strategy is conditioned by developments in the Academy which can

be summarized in:

- The period after approval of the Law of Academy and completion of all normative acts

deriving from this Law, and

- Twinning Project “Improving Education in Public Safety and Security Sectors”, through

which in the Academy will be established the Higher Education as a four year Bachelor

degree study program in the field of Public Safety.

Mission of the Academy is defined by Law, and vision was built during the Twinning Project.

Mission and vision in the Strategy of the Academy have resulted by the increased needs of the public

safety of citizens with well trained and well educated law enforcement officers. Training of all levels

that take place in the Academy as well as higher education, which will start with first generation in

October 2014, are the results of close cooperation of Kosovo institutions and international partners,

in order of matching mission and vision of the Academy with the standards of democratic countries.

Recognition of the Academy legal status from stakeholders and international partners is most

important challenge that the Academy will be faced with in coming years. After establishment of the

Academy by Law, 2012 and 2013 are excellent cooperation years of the Kosovo Academy for Public

Safety, Public Safety Agencies and the international partners.

The Academy staff will be committed on achieving the objectives of this strategy and is willing to

make the necessary changes after stages of periodical assessments.

Sincerely,

Ismail Smakiqi

General Director



PREFACE

This Development Strategy for the Kosovo Academy for Public Safety (KAPS) is the result of a hard

work made by a number of the officials and experts of the Academy, of Public Safety Agencies and

International Partners: OSCE Mission in Kosovo and ICITAP. Joint Working Group, through this

strategy, wants to open the path towards a modern and developed academy to train and educate the

officials of the public safety institutions.

Our mission is clear: Kosovo public safety institutions need continuous professional development of

well prepared and trained staff. They will provide safety for all citizens of our country. To achieve

this, the officials of these institutions should have programs, equipment and professional education

and training conditions. Having a Public Safety Academy who will train and educate public safety

officials, it will be provided effective way of resource management expenses of the Academy.

Moreover, the Academy will be able to generate its own financial resources coming from payable

training and services for natural and legal persons. Also, the Academy aims to become higher

education institution, offering Bachelor degree, Master degree, and, in the future, Doctorate degree

(PhD), not only for the students of Kosovo, but even wider.

In the end, we would like to thank all members and experts of the Working Group, whose dedication

and hard work made possible to have in our hands the Development Strategy for the next five years.

It remains that, in the future, all stakeholders of the Academy to give their full contribution to

implement it, and it can only be achieved by strengthening the cooperation, that already exists.

Therefore, in order to implement in the best way this Development Strategy, there are more than

welcome all comments and suggestions of the opinion and the stakeholders.



BACKGROUND

Our Academy campus has existed since the mid 1960s. Until 1971 it was primarily used as a training

institute of the Yugoslav Army, while in 1971 it became Police Academy (police secondary school).

Starting from September 1999, Department of Police Education and Development (DPED) of the

OSCE Mission in Kosovo together with UNMIK, created a Kosovo Police Service fully organized

and sustainable service which respects and implements all the principles of democratic policing

oriented in a multiethnic community. Emergency phase, from 1999 until the end of 2002, was

characterized by rapid training and deployment of the recently formed Kosovo Police Service.

Transition phase, which began in 2003-2004, was characterized by its transformation from Kosovo

Police Service School in a public safety institution, by being a host of training for Police, Customs,

Correctional Service and Department of Emergency Management. In this stage was made the

capacity building of local staff. In 2005, the transitional stage entered its final year. During this year,

DPED proposed transformation of the Kosovo Police Service School, which was managed by

DPED, in a public training centre, called Kosovo Centre for Public Safety Education and

Development (KCPSED).

From January 2006, it was officially renamed Kosovo Centre for Public Safety Education and

Development (KPCSED) and transfer stage began. In 2007 the transfer was completed. Centre was

transferred to Kosovo provisional authorities and was fully staffed by Kosovo civil servants.

On March 26th

2008 by the UNMIK Administrative Instruction 2008/3 and the Regulations 2008/17

and 2008/18, it was established Kosovo Centre for Public Safety Education and Development as an

executive agency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, under whose umbrella will be held joint training

for all public safety providers, focusing particularly on basic, advanced, and specialized management

and leadership training.

On October, 18th

2010 was approved the Administrative Instruction on Organization and Structuring

of KPCSED.

In December 2011 entered into force the Law No. 04/L-053 on Kosovo Academy for Public Safety,

according which the Academy is an executive agency within the MIA, providing training and higher

education for all public safety institutions, but not limited only to: Kosovo Police (KP), Kosovo

Correctional Service (KCS), Kosovo Probation Service (KPS), Kosovo Customs (KC), Emergency

Management Agency (EMA) and Kosovo Police Inspectorate of (KPI).

The Academy is in stage of implementation of the Twinning Project “Improved Education in Public

Safety and Security Sectors” through which it will be established higher education in the Academy

in the form of a four-year Bachelor level study program in the field of public safety. On September

30th

2013, the Academy has applied for accreditation of this program in Kosovo Accreditation

Agency (KAA).
