SKOPJE, 14 June 2004 - The OSCE Spillover Monitor Mission to Skopje is today launching a Border Police Management Development Course with the Interior Ministry, to assist in improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the border police.
The course, being held at the Kavadarci Border Police Regional Centre, caters for executive level officers and aims to improve their managerial skills.
"Expending managerial knowledge and skills is essential in times of rapid changes in the force's structure, legislative regulations and tasks performed by the border police," said Zoran Jovanovski, Head of the Border Police Force.
"Organized crime knows no borders and we have to keep ours closed to it," he added.
Over 40 border police managers working at southern border-crossings will attend the ten-day course. They will receive training in modern management techniques including leadership, staff empowerment and motivation, group decision-making, individual performance-raising, and conduct-control and appraisal mechanisms.
"As the border police move towards high professional standards, it is important for managers to enhance their knowledge and skills. The Mission is glad to provide this course at the request of our colleagues at the Ministry of Interior," said David Tingle, Head of the Police Development Unit.
The course, which will be delivered in three cycles, each with 15 trainees, is due to end on 6 August.
