OSCE Presence in Albania Continues to Support National Bureau of Investigation to Strengthen Its Investigative Capacities
Today we concluded a three-day training program for 16 newly selected investigators of the National Bureau of Investigation (BKH), who have successfully passed the vetting process.
The training program aimed to strengthen the overall capacity of the newly established BKH to conduct criminal investigations against high-level corruption and transnational organized crime groups. The training focused on topics such as special techniques for investigating organized crime groups, the fight against corruption, regional best practices in investigating organized crime and corruption, and the lawful processing of personal data. The training modules were developed in cooperation with the Austrian Embassy in Albania, the Austrian Federal Criminal Police and the Commissioner for the Right to Information and Personal Data Protection.
This activity took place in the framework of joint support, with the involvement of some of its departments, that the OSCE Presence provides in support of Albanian law enforcement agencies to fight serious crime and organized crime and to improve regional cooperation. In line with its mandate to assist Albanian law enforcement agencies in building capacity, improving professionalism and supporting police development and reform, the OSCE Presence in Albania will continue to support the establishment and effective functioning of the BKH in cooperation with the United States Program ICITAP and other international partners.
