COMMUNITY POLICING TRAINING MODULES



DRAFT

Collaboration on Training Component for Community Policing

The GoS Police and UNMIS Police/UNDP agree to work together on 6 initial months of technical co –operation for a pilot project (4th November 2006 – 3rd May 2007) to introduce a community-based style of policing, community safety training and improve the service delivery of the Police. The project is dynamic, in a piloting phase that provides opportunity for extension and some elements may therefore change and develop, however, the main elements of the project are detailed below. This SOC that will eventually develop into a Memorandum of Understanding provides actions of co –operation, partnership and strategic direction for change management within GoS Police through an appropriate training component.

The objectives of the project are:

1. To enhance the capacity of GoS Police training on modern crime trends, investigation techniques, human rights and risk management with a view of preventing crime.

2. To develop and enhance the national government police training institution and training unit capacity in information management and cascade training programmes in order to ensure sustainability of community policing training.

3. To support in partnership and collaboration with Government of Sudan (GoS) Police to address increasing policing demands in traffic management and public safety in Sudan.

The main project activities are:

a) Training and capacity-building: The project will provide training in community policing to help build the capacity of GoS Police in human rights, crime prevention, cyber crimes, community safety, risk management, information management and traffic control. Training modules will be developed for training at the police academy. The first priority is to hold a training of trainers’ course for at least key 40 police executive officers (in November 2006) and then progressively run training courses for 100 middle rank police officers on relevant strategic courses.

Output: Training modules on community oriented policing; 40 senior police executives trained, 100 middle rank officers trained on modern trends of policing and traffic management and the training modules integrated into the curriculum at GoS Police training academy.

b) Institution-building: The project will work with GoS Police to develop a Strategic Information Management System (SIMS) to enable the effective prioritisation of policing activities, set up a laboratory for information management and training on detection of cyber crimes. In order to set up a sustainable programme, GoS Police will provide trainers to be trained on a sustainable methodology for Training of Trainers (TOT). A computer laboratory established will serve as a training unit on SIMS and initial hardware is to be provided through a cost –sharing arrangement between GoS Police and UNMIS/UNDP.

Output: A new Strategic Information Management System developed by GoS Police and other key stakeholders and communicated effectively; computer laboratory established to enhance strategic role of the police in cyber crime prevention.

c) Training on Traffic management and public safety: The project will help train senior Government of Sudan Police on traffic management and begin to raise public awareness at Khartoum level on matters related to public safety and community relations. The training will involve capacity building on traffic investigation and traffic control. The project will also help to raise awareness within the police service as to the needs and benefits of working in partnership with public to reduce traffic crimes and accidents.

Output: Improved traffic management in Khartoum City and traffic training programmes in the GoS Police academy

d) Lessons learned: The project will draw out lessons learned from Phase I of the piloting component and develop further initiatives for Phase 2. These will be collated into a report at the end of the pilot stage that will seek to inform the intended development of the pilot project nationwide.

Output: Evaluation of the success of the project that enables lessons to be learned that can inform Phase 2 of expanded programme on community policing.

Oversight of the project

The Police development committee that is proposed to start its functions soon will meet on a monthly basis to oversee the project. A progress report from each meeting will be sent to the Director General of Police Police. Bi –monthly review meetings will be held between the project management team to review progress and ensure that the project is on track. For UNMIS/UNDP, the project management team is: Community Policing Specialist Justus Okoko (UNDP) and the Office of Deputy Commissioner of Police (DPC) in UNMIS. The Government of Sudan (GoS) Police will appoint senior training officer(s) to take charge of the project and constitute part of the management team.

The schedule for preliminary activities that are funded and due for implementation in the first month and half of the project cycle that ends on 14th December 2006 are attached hereon.

Additionally, an initial one–day consultative stakeholder meeting will be held on a date to be arranged in November 2006 to plan the project activities.

Ownership of the project

The project is an initiative of GoS Police that is designed to meet its identified needs. UNMIS/UNDP provides technical support to enable the successful implementation of the project.
