mr. Rashit qalaj general director of the police of republic of kosovo

I have the pleasure to present the annual work report of the Kosovo Police for 2018, which

summarizes the activities, achievements and engagement statistics of our organization.When I took my mandate at the end of August 2018, I analyzed the overall work situation in order to identify the challenges that Kosovo Police is facing and meanwhile I created working plans for further work continuation.

The data presented in this report gives us the opportunity to undertake the necessary analysis to understand the achievements, challenges and needs of where we need to increase the work capacities in order to reduce as far as possible the level of crime and to provide a peaceful and secure environment for all citizens of the country indiscriminately.This report highlights the clear results achieved by Kosovo Police, which are reflected in the smallest number of cases and criminal offenses compared to the previous year, reduction of accidents and dead persons in road traffic, and increasing police activities depending on the needs and operational evaluations.During this year, investment in professional development of police officers continued through mandatory and specialized training, which has often been supported by international partners.Even this year we have invested in the advancement of personnel in the police hierarchy, where the promotion process for the rank of captain has been realized, and this year we also made the recruitment of police cadets after a long process of selection of officers, who will join Kosovo Police in 2019.

The work presented in the 2018 Annual Report has been in line with the Strategic Development Plan of the KP, with other national strategies in cooperation and partnership.

Kosovo Police for many years is continuing with the trend of development and professionalism being a reliable, professional, transparent institution and above all responsible for its work. Kosovo Police, besides having advanced in both technological and professional capacities, it has already established a tradition and identity, which is widely appreciated.

Our achievements are the result of the mutual relationships that we have built over the years with citizens and various governmental and non-governmental institutions as well as our strategic partners, where through joint projects and the support we have provided to each other it is aimed to create a greater security and consequently a more peaceful life and well-being for the citizens of the country.Based on these all, we highly appreciate the commitment of police officers from all departments, who are doing a tremendous and sacrificial job in keeping the country’s security and order. I am happy that as a result of our work, Kosovo Police enjoys a continuous trust and respect in the society, but at the same time it makes us have even greater responsibility to further advance this appraisal, so I as the KP General Director will provide all my support to all the police employees so that they have the working conditions, be professional and motivated at the same time.
