1 STANDARD TWINNING LIGHT PROJECT FICHE 1. Basic Information 1.1 Programme: IPA Twinning Number: HR/2011/IB/JH/02 TWL 1.3 Title: Strengthening capacities of the Ministry of Interior for using IMSI Catcher (CRO IMSI) 1.4 Sector: Justice, Freedom and Security 1.5 Beneficiary country: Republic of Croatia 2. Objectives 2.1 Overall Objective: To improve the level of criminal police investigation in the Republic of Croatia in line with the best practices of the EU Member States. 2.2 Project purpose: To strengthen administrative capacities of the Ministry of Interior for using International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) Catcher in future criminal investigations. 2.3 Contribution to Accession Treaty / Relevant National Documents: Following the signature of the Accession Treaty on 9 December 2011 and its ratification procedure in the Member States, Croatia joined the European Union on 1 July In the Annex VII among Specific commitments undertaken by the Republic of Croatia in the accession negotiations it is stated: To continue to ensure a sustained track record of substantial results based on efficient, effective and unbiased investigation, prosecution and court rulings in organised crime and corruption cases at all levels including high level corruption, and in vulnerable sectors such as public procurement. Strategic plan for the Ministry of Interior and other institutions involved in protection and rescue for the period inter alia states the following goals: to reduce the risk of criminal behaviour, improve prevention of criminal behaviour and to improve crime prevention. Criminal offences are classified into several categories: organized crime and corruption, economic crime, drug abuse, criminality of special safety significance; crime of violence, property crime, and all other offenses not covered by the mentioned categories. In the Republic of Croatia, the police registers approximately criminal offenses per year. Of the total number of detected offenses police in Croatia manages to resolve, on an annual basis, about 60 percent of the crime. Without neglecting the less harmful crimes, in the next period, greater attention should be paid to the most difficult criminal cases.

2 Among methods of achieving the abovementioned goals are: improving the work of the criminal police, improving the effectiveness of combating corruption and organized crime and strengthening cooperation between the police and the judiciary. This Twinning light project will increase efficiency in pursuing and arresting fugitives and offenders of serious crimes through developing innovative solutions in criminal investigations in the area of mobile communications and improving level of technical education of police officers. This will further contribute to improvement of criminal police investigation in the Republic of Croatia which is related to achieving objectives indicated in the above mentioned documents. 3. Description 3.1 Background and justification: Main responsibilities of the Ministry of Interior (MoI) of the Republic of Croatia are to ensure safety of citizens as well as of democratic institutions of the State and the constitutional system, to fight against and prevent all forms of crime and enhance the system of national security. Furthermore, the Ministry of Interior is in charge of administrative affairs, such as citizenship, identity and travel documents, documents in the field of road traffic, possession of weapons, affairs connected with entry, stay and work of aliens, asylum and other forms of international protection. It is also responsible for inspections in connection with safety of persons, facilities and environment. Treaty of Lisbon, considers the fight against crime as one of the most important tasks of the European Union: The Union shall offer its citizens an area of freedom, security and justice without internal frontiers, in which the free movement of persons is ensured in conjunction with appropriate measures with respect to external border controls, asylum, immigration and the prevention and combating of crime (Article 3, paragraph 2). Accordingly, the Internal Security Strategy, adopted by the European Council in February 2010, considers organised crime as one of the main threats for the internal security of the EU. The Communication from the Commission The EU Internal Security Strategy in Action: Five steps towards a more secure Europe of 22 November 2010, COM (2010) 673 final, includes the task to fight serious and organised crime and terrorism as one of the five strategic objectives. Prevention of crime as well as detection and fight against crime are also among the most important goals to be pursued within the strategic documents of the Republic of Croatia. Thus, Strategic Plan of the Ministry of Interior provides strategic basis for suppression of organised crime and corruption in the Republic of Croatia. Furthermore, National Anti-Corruption Strategy and Action Plan of the Ministry of Interior stipulate anti-corruption measures in order to increase the number of reported criminal offenses with elements of corruption and to intensify prevention of corruption. 2

3 The said measures also envisage training of police officers in terms of the Code of Police and implementation of self-assessment process with the purpose of improving the integrity of the Ministry and preventing of internal corruption. The National Police Office for Suppression of Corruption and Organized Crime (NPOSCOC) was established in September 2009 in order to tackle organised crime and corruption in the most efficient way. Fight against crime also requires the use of sophisticated equipment taking into consideration the new crime trends. For this reason criminal police purchased special equipment for micro locating cell phones and collecting mobile phone numbers - International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) Catcher as one of the necessary tools to search for perpetrators of serious crimes and to fight against corruption and organized crime. The use of IMSI Catcher has by now proved to be of great help to police officers in conducting criminal investigations. However, the knowledge of police officers to operate IMSI Catcher was acquired exclusively through work on the system itself without any additional training. Taking into consideration that the work with highly advanced equipment requires technically trained police officers, the need for specialized trainings in this area has been determined. Following the above, this Twinning light project will strengthen capacities of Croatian police officers operating IMSI Catcher through transposition of knowledge and experience of police officers from EU Member State. This will greatly contribute to the efficiency of Croatian police officers who will be in position to learn from more experienced colleagues who also work with IMSI Catcher. Standard Operating Procedures and functional specifications for development of database for storing and cross analysing data of all criminal investigations that involve IMSI Catcher are also envisaged to be developed through this Twinning light project. At this moment there are four police officers in charge of IMSI Catcher, however specific subgroup/unit within Fugitive Unit is not formally established. Therefore, it is necessary to perform analysis of the present situation and modus operandi of the Fugitive Unit and provide recommendations on future establishment of the specific IMSI Catcher subgroup/unit within Fugitive Unit (when it will be possible) and technical equipment needed for quality work performance in criminal investigations connected to the area of mobile communications. The application of outputs developed through this Twinning light project will result in further improvement of efficiency of criminal police investigations, interagency and cross-border cooperation in fight against organized crime and corruption. 3
