Background: The Mission assisted to the Police Directorate (PD) to transform the Police High School into the Police Academy (PA) in 2009 and succeeded to change its status into a two-year police vocational training centre. The PA is currently under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education (MoE). Given that reform of the police education represents a key area of reform within the police service, it is vitally important that the Mission continue with further support to PA and PD in this process. In order to achieve this, it is important to provide such support on a continuous basis in line with international best practices and standards. The two years Police Development Strategy Action Plan 2016-2017 has defined some areas of the police education, recruitment, promotion and training system as priorities. Therefore, this important issue needs to be addressed as it represents a crucial area of reform within the on-going re-structuring of the police service. Namely, PA should have a leading role in providing the higher police education in the country. Besides, it should be recognised as the accredited police education institution in the region and amongst the international partner institutions. Hence the Mission kept its focus on the enhancement of the police training, police education and academic studies according to Bologna standards of academic education. Such objective is in accordance with the numerous international documents, primarily the Council of Europe and OSCE, which has emphasized the importance and linkage of the quality of police education toward the professional policing. Therefore, the Mission in cooperation with PA, under the umbrella of Project entitled “Development of educational system, training and skills of the PA and security sector agencies”, Task SCO-Training, will support development of “FS for academic police studies according to Bologna academic standards” in order to evaluate the potential for success and sustainability of the current Montenegrin police education system. Deliverables: The consultant responsible for conducting an assessment and developing of the Feasibility Study (FS) report on academic studies corresponding to the Bologna standards of academic education will be entitled 40 working days to complete the tasks and submit the report in Montenegrin language. |
