«Реформирование начального и непрерывного обучения системы полиции в Республике Молдова» возобновил свою деятельность

Given the special circumstances created by the COVID-19 outbreak, the TWP team made considerable efforts to adjust to the challenging situation and made its best to meet TWP goals. Therefore, once relaunching the TWP implementation (on June 1, 2020), all activities are taking place remotely using technological tools for virtual meetings.

In this regard, several on-line meetings were held with all EU and Beneficiary Country stakeholders addressing issues related to TWP implementation and possible shortcomings related to remote implementation of the Project.

Moreover, on July 7, 2020 the 7^th Steering Committee meeting took place. At the meeting the project team discussed progress recorded in the seventh quarter of TWP implementation and approved a series of documents needed for further development of the project.

It should also be noted that Moldovan Police benefited from a considerable expertise from EU partners in the following areas:

• Drafting the Communication Plan of new MIA Police Academy’s mission;
• Drafting the first multi-annual management plan for the MIA Police Academy;
• Analysis of different national and international training institutions current legal basis, documents regulating Mission statements;
• Developing the training program for Joint Law Enforcement Training Center management and educational staff;
• Sharing experience and providing recommendations regarding the EU experience in implementation of in-service trainings dedicated to police officers in Interrogation tactics, Cybercrime, Duty and dispatch services.
