Its key activities include advising institutions on legislation, strategies and action plans, for instance on intelligence-led policing, and running training courses for law enforcement officials, judges and prosecutors on issues such as organized, cyber and economic crimes; corruption; forensic examination; anti-terrorism; illicit trafficking of drugs and hate crime.

The Mission monitors the work of the Kosovo Police for their compliance with international human rights standards and provides recommendations on issues such as use of force, freedom of expression and assembly, and the protection of socially vulnerable groups. The Mission also supports development of vocational qualifications and assists the accreditation process of the Academy for Public Safety and the Forensic Agency on their path to becoming credible institutions, helps develop community policing practices and raises public safety awareness, and assists in establishing and enhancing capacities of community safety mechanisms in Kosovo to improve the quality of life.
