OSCE Mission donates IT analytical tools and software to law enforcement agencies

The OSCE Mission to BiH donated a tailored package of specialized equipment and software to bolster the police’s technical capabilities in conducting criminal intelligence analysis, ease police co-operation, and facilitate information exchange in light of combating serious and organized crime as well as other security threats. The Mission donated 42 desktop computers and 14 i2 Analyst’s Notebook licenses to law enforcement agencies across BiH at a handover ceremony held today in Sarajevo.

The Mission will also ensure more sustainable training on criminal intelligence analysis at the state- and entity-level police education institutions.

“In the months ahead, we will continue to address the priorities for improving the organizational structure and policies, training curricula, IT systems, and databases, as well as advancing the efficiency of information sharing,” said Ambassador Brian Aggeler, Head of the OSCE Mission to BiH.

“Enhancing intelligence-led policing in law enforcement and judicial institutions at all levels in Bosnia and Herzegovina help these institutions being more effective and responding to needs of all citizens in terms of security, stability and justice,” said Stefan Almehagen Sandstad, Chargé d'affaires at the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Sarajevo. “Norway is proud to contribute financially to the efforts of the OSCE Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina through trainings and workshops for several hundred participants from relevant institutions, as well as material donations for institutions and their professionals to bring knowledge into action.“

This donation is part of the OSCE Mission to BiH project titled "Enhancing Intelligence-led Policing to Combat Serious Security Threats and Crimes (ILP Project)," implemented with the generous support of Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Norway and Türkiye.
